Reviews

4.7 out of 5 stars from 1.5k ratings
  • Good geopolitical observation. Only one thing irritates me, at the end of each podcast Ian requesting reviews, only five star. It's not a good call. Not worthy of the established analyst.

  • The absolute best podcast

    Ian Bremmer continues to provide a holistic geopolitical view, unfiltered, addressing real topics in the history behind key issues going on in the United States and its impact on other countries. He takes a analytical approach while others lean heavy on biases. His report reporting on micro and larger macro economics is very much appreciated

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Viktor Orbán's last stand, and the future of Europe's far right with Ivan Krastev
Q: If Orbán loses, how might he react and what does that mean for European politics?
A loss could trigger strategic recalibrations, with potential shifts in his approach to power, and could influence how other European far-right parties align or recalibrate their strategies in response to a new political landscape.
Viktor Orbán's last stand, and the future of Europe's far right with Ivan Krastev
Q: Now, do you think his ideological roots are structural or opportunistic?
Orbán combines a long-standing conservative nationalist lens with pragmatic adaptation to electoral realities, making him both rooted in Hungarian historical identity and highly opportunistic in policy and alliances.
Viktor Orbán's last stand, and the future of Europe's far right with Ivan Krastev
Q: What do we not understand in the States about Viktor Orbán that we should?
The guest explains Orbán is a pivotal figure for the European far right, acting as a stabilizing, if opportunistic, hub connecting nationalist, conservative impulses to broader US political alignments, including ties to Trump and Moscow/Beijing dynamics.
Rahm Emanuel on Trump's Iran war “of choice” and midterm implications
Q: Question from the audience: What's one hard truth about America's role in the world that political leaders understand, but that you don't think voters are ready to hear yet?
The answer emphasizes that as a superpower, the U.S. has a global responsibility and must either fully fund and commit to that role or re-evaluate its position, acknowledging that the burden of leadership is heavy and long-term, not easily resolved in a single decision.
Unpacking Iran’s competing endgames with Brookings Institution’s Thomas Wright
Q: What's your longer-term best-case scenario for Iran in a year?
A more legitimate or even gradually more stable regime in Iran that can gradually move away from aggressive behavior, though recognizing domestic repression and economic constraints may limit such a transition.
