It’s time for another ask-me-anything edition of FP Live. After a trip to Kyiv, FP editor in chief Ravi Agrawal explained why new developments in drone technology have him worried about conflicts around the world. Plus, he takes on the energy market,... more
In this bonus episode, host Ravi Agrawal presents his recent essay arguing that U.S. President Donald Trump has peaked. While Trump still has two years left in office and immense potential for global disruption, Ravi makes the case that his coercive ... more
Behind every major decision, whether by a family buying a home or a shipping company deciding to transit the Strait of Hormuz, lies the judgment of the insurance markets. How do insurers evaluate risk, and what can we learn from how they attach a pre... more

The idea that a guest would claim that the Trump Adminstration would think that defeating Iran would be easy, is beyond stupid. The moderator as usual did not push back on such stupidity. If you want a podcast that seriously discusses foreign policy, this program is not for you. It is this is one of the dumbest, most juvenile podcasts available. Do not waste your time.
This is the worst podcast on foreign affairs available. Most junior high school students know more than the featured “experts”. The moderator is the absolute worst.
I was born in UK, live in Australia (as a citizen) and was reconciled to living within America’s subtle sphere of influence.
Not so now.
Everyone I know believes should reduce our dependence on the US.
Even my relatives who live in the bush (moderately remote countryside) did not vote for our centre-right party, as they’d prefer to do, because the candidate was “Too Trumpy”.
If Australian opinion is becoming more favourable to a greater distance from the US, then other countries are likely to ... more
Colby is one of the smartest guests who have been on the program over the years. With respect to NATO, Agarwal is wrong as usual. 1) the Europeans have absolutely failed to convince the American public that NATO is worth saving or that a single U.S. soldier should die for Slovenia, Greece, Spain etc. 2) the bigger question on an invocation of Article 5 is whether European countries would come to the defense of other European countries if war broke out and if so, with what? Strongly worded lette... more
I have listened to this podcast for a number of years and it never ceases to disappoint me. It is hard to stomach the stupidity of this podcast. In this episode, Ian Brenner who has always been a lightweight and has an abysmal track record just spouted nonsense. I do not mind people like Bremmer spouting his nonsense but I cannot stomach no pushback or hard questioning by the moderator. There are many issues which lend themselves to serious nuanced discussion. However, a high school civics class... more
