Chris, Zack, and Melanie ring in the new
year with a discussion on whether or not "The U.S. Needs More
Foreign Entanglements," as writer Andreas Kluth argues. What,
exactly, is an entangling alliance? How should the United States
manage relationships with some of our more tricky partners? Is it
politically possible to extricate ourselves from relationships that
no longer serve American interests?
Besides giving the usual grievances and
attaboys, the gang looks ahead in 2024. Chris would like to see
more coverage of the positive aspects of AI, Melanie is keeping
eyes on the new Argentine President Milei as he sets about trying
to reform the economic and political systems, and Zack is
pessimistic about the upcoming presidential election.
Hosts Melanie Marlowe and Christopher Preble debate their way through some of the toughest and most contentious topics related to war, international relations, and strategy. This podcast is brought to you by War on the Rocks.
