Ian Bremmer: 'We have passed peak Trump in terms of disruption on the global stage' (opens the original)
Read excerpt
François Picard is pleased to welcome Ian Bremmer, the American political scientist, author, and founder and president of Eurasia Group and GZERO Media. According to Bremmer, we may now be entering the autumn of the "Donroe Doctrine" and the MAGA era: an "America First" isolationist approach in which President Donald Trump envisions a return to "greatness" in Gilded Age fashion. But is this the America voters had envisioned? Yet Bremmer is equally emphatic about something else: "America, of cour

François Picard is pleased to welcome Barbara Slavin, Distinguished Fellow at the Stimson Center. She describes the US-Iran conflict as a dangerous combination of military escalation, diplomatic ambiguity and political calculation.

The story is centred around the Retiro quarter of Madrid , one of the chic and desirable areas in the Spanish capital, located by the Prado Museum and the so-called Golden Triangle of Art. 87-year-old Maricarmen Abascal lived in an apartment there from the 1950s. She was evicted by
'Most powerful force is human potential': Ukraine's military prioritises new tactics, technologies (opens the original)
Read excerpt
François Picard is pleased to welcome Kyrylo Berkal, Deputy Commander of Ukraine's Third Army Corps. He sees Ukraine’s struggle centred on human potential, adaptation and will. While Ukraine is outnumbered, outgunned and sometimes outflanked, their answer is to make human initiative a weapon: giving soldiers and sergeants room to innovate, developing technology from the tactical level upward, and trying to outthink their adversary. Berkal says that Operation Vivaldi embodies that philosophy. The
