  • Balance Would Be Great

    There is no balance of viewpoints. It has become part of the echo chamber that infects all media. Not surprised given his affiliation with PBS but it is disappointing.

  • Great Objectives View of US and the World

    The reason G-Zero stands out from all other US and foreign policy podcasts/YouTubes is that Ian is focused on how America and Western democracies can be leaders in the world - for the benefit of the world - ethically, human rights, politically, soft power, militarily.

  • 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.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Winners and losers of the Iran war, with Kori Schake
Q: Tell me how you think about the war in Iran right now and its impact.
Kori Schake argues that the war's execution has damaged U.S. credibility and left allies uncertain, while the broader objective remains unclear; she emphasizes the need to constrain Iran's nuclear ambitions and maintain alliance cohesion to prevent a lasting strategic setback.
Cuba's Trump standoff and economic crisis with Michael Bustamante
Q: If a deal is possible, what might it look like and what would it mean for U.S. politics and Cuban governance?
A primarily economic deal could be pursued, offering tourism and investment opportunities while avoiding immediate political change, but the guest stresses that the political and human rights implications depend on what signals the Cuban government sends, such as releasing prisoners and making incremental reforms without altering the core political system.
Cuba's Trump standoff and economic crisis with Michael Bustamante
Q: So, there's been a lot of chatter about Cuba and some action recently. What is happening to the Cubans today?
The guest explains that Cubans are enduring a severe economic crisis with power and fuel shortages, and that the current situation is driven by sanctions and internal economic structure. He notes that remittances and private-sector channels have become lifelines, while many Cubans worry about political opening and potential changes in the long term.
North Korea's nuclear gamble pays off, with the WSJ's Jonathan Cheng
Q: Do you prefer more engagement or more diplomacy and sanctions?
The guest expresses uncertainty about which approach will work best and suggests that neither side has a decisive Trump-card, highlighting the complexity and unsolved nature of North Korea policy.
Assessing the Iran War's "structural damage" with Harvard economist Gita Gopinath
Q: What is the likely trajectory for inflation and growth amid energy price changes from this conflict?
Oil and natural gas price increases are the main near-term inflationary pressure, likely lifting global inflation by roughly around 100 basis points over a year, while overall world growth might be shaved by about 0.3 percentage points, with greater risk if energy infrastructure is damaged further.
