What this episode covers
This episode of World Review examines three major flashpoints shaping global politics: the renewed Iran war and the high-stakes question of whether diplomacy can still prevent a wider conflict, the NATO summit in Ankara where allies projected unity while quietly adapting to a more unpredictable United States, and Russia’s worsening fuel shortages and mounting domestic strain as Ukraine’s drone campaign intensifies. Ivo Daalder with guests Karin Axelsson, Anna Sauerbrey, and Peter Spiegel trace a common theme: the world is entering a more transactional, unstable era in which regional powers are testing leverage, alliances are being stress-tested, and long-standing assumptions about American leadership, European security, and deterrence are being rewritten in real time.
