He points to Secretary of State Marco Rubio’s speech, which “received a standing ovation,” but cautions that European expectations remain low.

Ian focuses on the Ukraine war, noting the pressure on Kyiv and the risk of a US-Russia deal: “Are the Europeans going to hold together if the Americans cut a deal with the Russians by themselves? People are skeptical.”

He also raises concerns about Europe’s economic and political cohesion: “Europe is 27 countries and they’re institutionally hobbled from all acting together.”

Ian concludes that while leaders understand the problems, “they have not settled on the nature of a solution,” leaving the future of transatlantic cooperation uncertain as the US continues to dominate the alliance’s agenda.

https://www.youtube.com/watch/Ha-Ch8VeTL0 Sarah Paine: How Putin is Destroying Russia as Great Power
Great powers rarely fall in a single blow. They weaken when one strategic gamble closes more doors than it opens. That is the story here.

Putin’s invasion of Ukraine was intended to restore Russia’s stature. Instead, it has accelerated its loss of great-power autonomy. Sanctions, technological isolation, capital flight, and demographic decline have compounded long-standing structural weaknesses. The war did not create Russia’s fragility — it exposed and intensified it.

The most consequential shift has been eastward.

Before 2022, Moscow could hedge between Europe and China. That flexibility is largely gone. Beijing is now Russia’s primary economic outlet, technological supplier, and diplomatic shield. This is not parity; it is asymmetry. China has options. Russia increasingly does not.

That loss of optionality is the real decline. Great powers retain freedom of manoeuvre. They choose their alignments; they are not compelled into them. By overplaying his hand, Putin narrowed Russia’s strategic space and locked it into a position of dependence.

The concept of “death ground” sharpens the point. When leaders perceive existential stakes, escalation becomes easier than retreat. But operating from that mindset reduces flexibility further. It hardens positions and raises the cost of correction.

Russia still possesses nuclear weapons and a UN Security Council seat — the symbols of great-power status. Yet symbol and substance are diverging. Economic dependence on China, constrained policy space, and mounting internal strain point to a quieter reality: a state that looks powerful, but negotiates from weakness.

Putin set out to restore Russian greatness. His pivotal error may instead mark the moment Russia’s great-power status began to erode in substance, even if it remains intact in form.

In the latest “Ian Explains,” Bremmer examines the shift from decades of US-led global leadership to President Trump’s more unilateral “America First” approach. From withdrawing from international agreements to reviving tariffs and allowing key arms control treaties to lapse, the signals suggest Washington is pulling back. But is it?

From forceful action in Venezuela to an explicit doctrine of dominance in the Western Hemisphere, Trump has shown he’s willing to assert American power — just not through the institutions that defined the postwar order. As allies hedge and adversaries like China step into new leadership roles, Bremmer asks whether the United States is retreating from the world, or redefining how it leads it.

Being an American right now is a wild ride. Every day brings a new controversy, breathless media narratives and the same loud voices rushing in to score political points. Then another Truth Social post drops and the circus moves on. But all that noise is drowning out the actual story. On her new podcast Runaway Country, veteran journalist Alex Wagner talks to the voices at the center of the headlines: from the fringes of the resistance, to the marrow of MAGA, to the many people who’ve found themselves smack-dab in the crosshairs of a fight they never asked for. Because if you want to understand our unreal times, you’ve got to talk to the very real people who are experiencing it all first-hand. Join Alex as she brings together the stories of everyday Americans trapped in our national car with no brakes, alongside conversations with some of the smartest thinkers in politics. Buckle up, this road could lead anywhere.

Crooked believes that we need a better conversation about politics, culture, and the world around us—one that doesn’t just focus on what’s broken, but what we can do to fix it. At a time when it’s increasingly easy to feel cynical or hopeless, former Obama staffers Jon Favreau, Jon Lovett, and Tommy Vietor have created a place where people can have sane conversations that inform, entertain, and inspire action. In 2017 they started Crooked with Pod Save America—a no-bullshit conversation about politics. Since then, we continue to add shows, voices, and opportunities for activism, because it’s up to all of us to do our part to build a better world. That’s it. End of mission.

“Casualties in Afghanistan in the 80s, which were five per cent of what we’re talking about now, which caused riots in the streets… if Putin has to start mobilising in Moscow, it is recognition that they are losing.”

Putin and the Kremlin’s “horrendous losses” on the frontline could be the straw that “breaks the Russian camel’s back”, says former British Army colonel Hamish de Bretton-Gordon.
