Veteran geopolitical analyst and author George Szamuely joins the show to break down the massive shift in American foreign policy following the stunning midterm elections. With Democrats retaking Congress, Szamuely unpacks the desperate race against time for Donald Trump to secure a “Hail Mary” peace deal in Ukraine—and why the political establishment is doing everything in its power to sabotage it.
Drawing on decades of experience analyzing NATO and Western intervention, Szamuely offers a sobering look at the reality on the ground in Ukraine, including the shocking reports of forced-conscription “torture chambers” in Kiev that the mainstream media is ignoring. He also weighs in on the disastrous fallout from the Iran conflict, the shifting power dynamics in Israel, and why the neoconservatives might finally be losing their grip on Washington.
George Szamuely is a Senior Research Fellow at the Global Policy Institute in London and a leading voice on the consequences of Western military intervention. He is the co-host of *The Gaggle with Peter Lavelle* and the author of the definitive history of the Balkan wars, *Bombs for Peace: NATO’s Humanitarian War on Yugoslavia*.
