Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Iran’s Protests and the New Middle East Balance of Power
Q: Given the crackdown, what do you think the Iranian government's survival strategies might be forthcoming?
The Iranian government's approach seems to be reframing their narrative around the protests as an existential crisis and potentially extreme measures in response to perceived threats.
Iran’s Protests and the New Middle East Balance of Power
Q: How do these protests differ from previous ones?
The current protests are characterized by a larger scale and involvement of different social classes, particularly the middle class, contrasting with earlier protests that were more focused on social issues.
Iran’s Protests and the New Middle East Balance of Power
Q: How does this all play into what happens with the Iranian situation?
The Iranian situation reflects a gravitation towards an Israeli-Emirati alliance with Saudi Arabia moving in the opposite direction and forming closer ties with Turkey and Qatar, thereby pushing Iran aside as a peripheral player.
Has America declared a 'culture war' on Europe?
Q: If you don't think that the NSS is any reflection of what Trump's strategic vision or policy objectives are, what is that?
I think there's quite a bit on Taiwan and more than you've seen from traditional national security strategies in there.
Has America declared a 'culture war' on Europe?
Q: What do you make of the NSS?
I actually disagree with your characterization that this document is a very important document.
