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
from The Un-Diplomatic Podcast · host Van Jackson
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.Notes and Sources:Mike Pilger on Ian Bremer: https://twitter.com/mikepilger/status/1215076257362337792Matt Duss on political assassination: https://twitter.com/mattduss/status/1213471599841677312Jess McIntosh on Bernie Bros: https://twitter.com/jess_mc/status/1217470071402123265?s=20Whitney McNamara on AI literacy: https://twitter.com/Whitney_McN/status/1217509704433389571?s=20Howard French in World Politics Review:https://www.worldpoliticsreview.com/articles/28470/china-s-policies-toward-hong-kong-and-taiwan-are-driving-a-slow-motion-catastropheWorld Politics Review on the China trade deal: https://www.worldpoliticsreview.com/trend-lines/28474/what-does-the-phase-one-u-s-china-trade-deal-actually-accomplishSubscribe to the World Politics Review Newsletter: wpr.pub/undiplomatic
