Trump's National Security Strategy: A Plan to Contain China or Carve Up the World? | Jamie Metzl
Duration: 01:08:10
December 22, 2025
- The Trump administration's 2025 national security strategy is interpreted as a pivot away from the post-war international order towards a 19th-century-style balance of power with spheres of influence, potentially undermining alliances and values.
- The discussion critiques the strategy's approach to global power dynamics, particularly its perceived lack of clarity in containing China and its potential to weaken international institutions that have fostered peace and prosperity.
- A significant portion of the conversation explores the complexities and historical context of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, with the guest expressing concern over simplistic narratives on social media and the host highlighting the role of power dynamics and historical grievances.
