Among the topics: a neglected African continent; Russia’s military and economic sustainability and related policy options that the incoming Trump administration will face; parallels between Taiwan and pre-World War I Europe; rating Javier Milei’s performance in Argentina; job options for aspiring PhD candidates; plus the panel’s recommendations for foundational books to instill honor and patriotism in children (spoiler alert: Niall talking Tolkien).

glad there'll be a Christmas present episode
Amazing episode - i love seeing these three engage with the audience’s questions
Agree on David Hume and recommend his History of England- the edition with the Preface by his friend Adam Smith
Great show, so informative
Talk about the censorship in Brazil 🇧🇷
The Hill 5/24/24. “Israel’s censorship of the AP is a cautionary tale for the US”
With Marco Rubio's appointment as foreign secretary the neo conservative interventionists shouldn't need to worry. The America First crowd definitely lost the battle for foreign policy.
Energy is the key to social development in Africa. The Ukrainians have serious manpower issues. Troops are deserting in large numbers. Just how can Sir Ferguson possibly say Mr. Trump is assembling a good team. Just check the individuals Trump has selected to run the Department of Defense. CS. Forester and Douglas Reeman, great historical novels.
May we have Allies Trump?
Tariffs on Mexico and Canada and China? People like me will be even less able to afford basic things...how does it help all low and even middle class people who won't even be able to afford your crap?
Tariffs aren't going to happen on Mexico and Canada (at least not as described thus far). These are negotiating tools.
As for China, I have no problem with it. For every silly little retaliatory measure they enact, it will just make it that much easier for us to wean ourselves of of them, which is absolutely in our interest, and not at all in theirs.
I once called out an executive with USAID who was presenting for a global health student association. I said how is our system actually promoting market competition and equal treatment as equal nations. His answer was essentially that we will always need to provide US taxpayer aid because of these issues and that they would never develop their own agriculture... Let alone other kinds of goods... There are careers built on this kind of aid. It's money
Do you want to be surrounded by sanctuary cities, or perhaps permanent camps where the people will live as they do slave work for the rich?
Removing hard working un-registered citizens helps the economy how?
The ironic thing is, it will hurt republicans / the 'plantation' owners the most. Illegals replaced slaves for them, and still make up more than 50 or something % of factory and farm workers. Now they will have to pay actual minimum wage.
What exactly is an "un-registered citizen?"
Don't they still force children to read books in school? What's the effect on children if the DOE is dismantled?
Huge mistake to think it would be a good thing to make them massive agricultural producers. Look at our food system. GMOs are an issue for the environment and the people that eat them. Then you have the legal issue about not being able to use your own seeds to plant crops for the following year. They may need tractors, but they don't need chemicals and GMOs!😮😮😮
Nothing is wrong with GMOs. In fact they offer many opportunities to reduce chemical use
Let's see, how good will be Trump to Ukraine 😉
... and how bad he will be to his friend Putin.
He will make up for it with support for Netanyahu’s GNCD, Ethnic Cleansing, Lebensraum, in Gaza.
