Kamala Harris's Foreign Policy and Russia with Angela Stent
07/31/24 • 76 min
What a difference a month makes! The Democrats have a new Presidential nominee in Kamala Harris. But what are her views on Foreign Policy? We talk about the potential differences between her policies and those of the Biden Administration.
Also in this episode, Anita had the pleasure of speaking to Angela Stent, a senior non-resident fellow at the Brookings Institution and Senior adviser to the U.S. Institute of Peace. We covered a range of topics, including how the U.S. elections might affect Putin’s execution of the Ukraine war, the current domestic situation in Russia, and Russia’s relationships with the large number of neutral countries that haven’t bought into the West’s story of the Ukraine war as an existential threat to democracy and the global order. We also discussed the far-right’s white nationalist dream of allying with Russia against China.
