https://www.youtube.com/watch/XuWvRWQNGjM Trump flip flops on Iran threats | ask ian

Ian notes that Trump has issued several ultimatums on Iran while backing down “every time because his military options are not great.” The result, he argues, is a cycle of pressure without resolution, keeping the region on edge.

Ian says that the “least worst outcome” for Trump would be to “declare victory and get out,” but warns that the longer the war drags on, the harder that exit becomes.

With many Americans opposing the war, Ian concludes that “every day this goes on, it’s a bigger disaster on Trump’s watch,” underscoring the growing political and geopolitical costs.

STEVE’S READING RUSSIA – RUSSIAN PRESS REVIEW (18.05.26)

What the Russian papers are saying about this weekend’s massive Ukrainian drone strike: one paper calls it “audacious”, another says it is: “one of Ukraine’s largest aerial attacks.” “It’s increasingly difficult to cut the flow of weaponry to the Ukrainian army,” concedes another.

https://www.youtube.com/watch/gbAc078_66I The Iran war’s global fallout (so far) | GZERO World with Ian Bremmer
The Iran war has had a ripple effect on the global economy and international relations way beyond the Middle East. Kori Schake of the American Enterprise Institute joins Ian Bremmer to discuss how the conflict is redrawing power for the US, Russia, China, and America’s allies.

Trump declared Operation Epic Fury over, but the consequences of the Iran war are still very much unfolding. The US is locked in a standoff over the Strait of Hormuz, facing what Kori Schake of the American Enterprise Institute describes as a binary choice: “dramatic escalation” or “humiliation, accepting that Iran is now in control of the Straits and we have sacrificed free passage in international waterways.”

Russia and China are both watching and benefiting. Higher oil prices are pumping money back into the Kremlin just as pressure over Ukraine was mounting. And as Trump heads to Beijing for the China-US summit, Xi Jinping holds real leverage. Beijing knows the White House needs its help to stabilize the Strait. Schake says that tells you something: “It’s an important measure of just how much President Trump has lost in starting the war in Iran and pursuing it in the way he has, that he’s having to go appeal to China, America’s most powerful potential adversary, for assistance in delivering us from a problem of our own creation.”

For America’s allies, the damage is also real, she says. The US has externalized the costs of the conflict onto partner countries, cutting Germany’s GDP growth forecast in half through higher energy prices. At the same time, the war has exposed a shallow US defense industrial base and raised hard questions about whether American military power, however tactically impressive, can translate into strategic wins.

https://www.youtube.com/watch/rTaaMwjEU-g Drone warfare shifts the Ukraine-Russia battlefield | Ian Bremmer’s Quick Take
In his latest Quick Take, Ian Bremmer says the war in Ukraine is entering a new phase, with Kyiv retaking territory from Russia through advanced drone warfare.

Ian explains that despite being “wildly outnumbered,” Ukraine is gaining a technological edge, using coordinated waves of ground and aerial drones to hit Russian trenches, infrastructure, and troop movements. “The front lines are moving in the other direction,” he says, as Russia struggles to adapt.

Ian also warns that the shifting battlefield is raising broader geopolitical risks. As Russian casualties mount and strikes reach deeper into Moscow, Putin is becoming “increasingly isolated,” surrounded by weaker advisers and facing growing criticism at home.

The result, Ian argues, is a more volatile conflict even as momentum on the ground begins to shift.

https://www.youtube.com/watch/oLqaIeMXK1E Russia’s Biggest Risk Isnt the Ukraine War. It’s What Comes After
Could Russia eventually weaken or even fragment after Putin? And why did so many experts fail to predict the collapse of the Soviet Union in the first place?

In this conversation, Tom Nichols discusses the future of Russia after the war in Ukraine, whether Putin’s system can survive a failed conflict, and why predicting the collapse of major powers is far harder than most analysts admit.

We also explore Putin’s transformation over the years, Russia’s highly centralised system, Garry Kasparov’s warnings about failed wars, and what could happen if the Kremlin loses control.
