  • Foreign Policy

    Many people feel that the ugliest dog race every four years is the pinnacle of democratic participation. Shows like FOH show everyone why foreign policy should not be disconnected from democracy and ethics. Foreign policy should not be a "business".

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The US-Venezuela Invasion Crisis Unpacked - Ep 176
Q: Let's talk about these elections. Why do you think Maduro's elections are questioned by U.S. actors, and what's the reality on the ground?
Maduro has won multiple elections and recalls that international observers have certified those results; the rejection is driven by long-standing U.S. opposition to the Venezuelan government and a propaganda narrative that aims to delegitimize the Bolivarian leadership rather than reflect actual electoral shortcomings.
Colonial Realities and Puerto Rico's Path to Independence w/ Alexis Colon de Jesus - Ep 177
Q: How do you see the role of internationalism and solidarity in the Puerto Rican independence movement?
Alexis argues for an internationalist approach, supporting both resistances to empire and actual socialist states, while cautioning against blindly supporting governments and emphasizing the need for principled solidarity and class-based analysis.
Colonial Realities and Puerto Rico's Path to Independence w/ Alexis Colon de Jesus - Ep 177
Q: What is independentismo in the Puerto Rican context?
Independentismo is framed as the struggle for sovereignty and national freedom to join the world rather than remain an isolated colony of the US, with a historical arc from colonial oppression to contemporary anti-imperial stance.
"Bloodlines" and Unveiling the Realities of Israeli Occupation and U.S. Imperialism w/ Meital Yaniv - Ep 173
Q: What are some concrete ways listeners can apply your personal transformation to broader anti-occupation work?
Meital outlines a process of shedding indoctrination, reconnecting with embodiment and land, and engaging in healing practices that support liberation, while also urging practical steps to cut funding and support for occupation through awareness and action.
Monroe Doctrine is alive and well: continuing effects of the US offensive against Venezuela - Ep 180
Q: Leonardo, can you explain how the US framed its intervention in Venezuela and how that narrative shifted over time?
The justification evolved from narcoterror and terrorism to broader concerns about Iran and Hezbollah, reflecting strategic messaging shifts to justify action and align with perceived regional threats, while attempting to minimize criticism by focusing on security threats and regime change arguments.
