The Great Warren-Sanders Convergence, Elite v. Democratic Foreign Policy, Why World War III is Trending, Fake China Trade Deal, Iran Escalation Idiocy | Ep. 31
Description
Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders converge on foreign policy way more than Twitter thinks. Democratizing foreign policy is a noble goal but is it possible? Millennials are freaked out about World War III and Trump is to blame. The "Phase I" trade deal with China is fake reality TV. Deterrence by escalation is dumb. Breaking the political assassination taboo will prove costly. And why the policymaker literacy gap on artificial intelligence is a career opportunity for the next generation of mandarins.
