This could be so much better. Unfortunately, as with most of the CSIS offerings, it is obsessively fixated on criticising Trump – and overestimating his influence – rather than dealing with the subjects at hand. One might as well rename this podcast ‘Trumpology’. I would have hoped for a more mature, less biased discussion from what is instead a clearly left-leaning think-tank.

United Kingdoma month ago - I lived in China
It’s funny that you use ANYTHING ‘green technology’ or ‘environmental’ as my time in the Middle Kingdom (2016-21) demonstrated few or none of such claims are truths. Coal factories burn incessantly (I lived across from one in Beijing) and the beaches in Xiamen were garbage dumps in the ocean (washed up on shore daily).

Xi and Putin engineered our current age of uncertainty.
Trump is the schmuck at the dinner table of dictators. A usefully idiotic bull in the China shop of democracy.
Isn’t it a bit odd that everything Trump does seems to benefit Xi and Putin in the long run… oh, China was well prepared for a massive oil crisis and Putin made bank in shadow oil trading? Ya don’t say…
Trump wants to collapse the west. His favorite dictators are all loosely working together against democracy worldwide. A death ... more
