Has the US abdicated from global leadership?

Welcome to the third episode of Mildly Alarmed, a new weekly podcast about European and global security hosted by Anastasiia Lapatina, Fabian Hoffman, Minna Ålander, and Karen-Anna Eggen. To set up the show, we are dedicating the first three episodes to recent trends in Ukraine, Europe, and global security. Episode three dives into the changing global order—are we experiencing a rupture, or something Minna calls a CGC? What is the global impact of the US-Israel war against Iran, and how do Europeans view the conflict? If you want to support our show, go to our Buy Me A Coffee page at http://buymeacoffee.com/mildlyalarmed Email us at [email protected] with any guest feedback, suggestions, and questions.  Mentioned in the show:Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney’s speech at the World Economic Forum in Davos, from CBC: https://shorturl.at/bveMJ “At a glance: Starmer fights to stay on as prime minister”, from BBC: https://shorturl.at/WmLQP “Putin Marks Pared-Down Victory Day Parade in Moscow After Zelensky Gives ‘Permission’”, from Time: https://shorturl.at/AZkwz “Ukraine’s Energy Corruption Scandal Just Got Much Worse” from Lawfare: ⁠https://shorturl.at/ngHoX⁠ “Friedrich Merz can’t go on like this”, from The Economist: ⁠https://shorturl.at/JNEGF⁠ Credits: Anastasiia Lapatina is Ukraine Fellow at Lawfare.
