#11 Pt. 3 - Flashpoints and Frontlines - Power Politics in Today's Global Hotspots
Description
In Episode 11, Part 3 of Diplomacy and Discourse, we dive into today’s most dangerous flashpoints—Ukraine, the South China Sea, and the Middle East—to reveal how power politics is alive, brutal, and evolving. From Russia’s Arctic ambitions to China’s Indo-Pacific expansionism, and from Iranian proxies to Israeli deterrence, this episode maps the high-stakes battlegrounds shaping our world. We also explore U.S. foreign policy, Trump vs. Biden strategies, and the rise of multi-alignment in a rapidly fragmenting global order.
Power politics didn’t die with the Cold War—it simply changed form. Tune in for a real-world look at the chessboard of 21st-century geopolitics.
