Description
What would a Mayor Bloomberg foreign policy look like (some concerning clues in his past)? The wisdom of French realpolitik. Why Trump will sell out Taiwan but the rest of Washington should keep the faith. Why neoliberalism is the new neoconservatism. Why Iran policy reveals Trump to be a neocon minus the love of democracy bit. And why Van Jackson backs a no-first use nuclear policy. Also this episode: Van reveals the presidential campaign he's been volunteering for as a foreign policy adviser.
