Grab a coffee or get those trainers on!This is a great listen: my chat with Prof Scott Lucas of EA Worldview & Deep Dive Politics- World Unfiltered pods.Secretary of State Anthony Blinken gave a speech on the direction and objectives of American foreign policy and Scott and I look to see how this could possibly play out on the ground.Our discussion is divided into two parts. Part 1 Scott provides an overall mapping of the document at first and then looks at possible avenues of action in terms of Iran and the Middle East as opposed to US foreign policy in these areas in the past.In Part 2, Scott and I discuss the same but with a view to Russia, in light of the recent sanctions levelled at Russian officials and entities and what the document is saying for US relations with China. In the end, we also chat about CPAC or T-PAC.Heartfelt thanks to Scott for taking time from his busy schedule to chat with us and Davide Cortese, CTP senior researcher for all his help on analysis for the pod.To you all...my warm thanks for listening in every week,Mops...If you're looking for a fab place to get away once you can, please check out our friends' place right here in gorgeous Tuscan hillside- The Lazy Olive. I can't wait to be able to visit Malcolm & Daniela and just enjoy their company & a great glass of wine.
