    Trump’s Ambitions for Greenland
    Mar 31 2025
    Today on the show, former Danish PM Helle Thorning-Schmidt joins the show to discuss the Trump administration’s push to take over Greenland. She argues that the US could easily get more involved in the territory militarily without needing to take it over. Next, Alexander Dugin, Russian philosopher and the man often referred to as “Putin’s brain,” speaks with Fareed about the growing alignment between US President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin and why he believes the war in Ukraine is justified. Then, Middle East expert Elisabeth Kendall talks with Fareed about the leaked Signal chat among top US officials and whether America will be able to achieve its goal of defeating the Houthis in Yemen. Finally, as the April 2 deadline for President Trump’s retaliatory tariffs approaches, former US Trade Representative Michael Froman speaks with Fareed about the possible consequences of these tariffs and how he thinks Trump is trying to transform the American economy.

The Plywood Technocracy of Ashraf Ghani

Ashraf Ghani interview was mostly sleep-inducing, but I suppose it needed to be done. Thats about all there is. Good take by Fareed on Afghanistan war and the US tendency towards "Plywood Imperialism", as first noted by Afghan veteran and journalist Elliot Ackerman, who should have a book. His interview was brief. I skipped the Coppola interview.

Best source for global news analysis

Fareed has the knowledge and insight to see the big picture as well as the subtle changes that other news sources miss and he presents it in a respectful, thoughtful way.
