Stephen Kotkin: Russia’s Murky Future | Foreign Affairs Interview
When Russia botched its invasion of Ukraine and the West quickly came together in support of Kyiv, Russian President Vladimir Putin’s grip on power appeared shakier than ever. Last summer, an attempted coup even seemed to threaten his rule. But today, Putin looks confident. With battlefield progress in Ukraine and political turmoil ahead of the U.S. election in November, there’s reason to think things are turning in his favor.
The historian Stephen Kotkin joins us to discuss what this means for Russia’s future—and how the United States can be ready for whatever that future holds. Kotkin is the Kleinheinz Senior Fellow at the Hoover Institution at Stanford University. He is the author of the forthcoming book Stalin: Totalitarian Superpower, 1941–1990s, the last in his three-volume biograph...

Kori Schake: What Republican Foreign Policy Gets Wrong | Foreign Affairs Interview
As the U.S. presidential election swings into high gear, speculation about a second-term Trump foreign policy is also becoming more intense. Would he push radical changes to policy on China, or Ukraine, or the war in Gaza? Can his campaign promises be taken at face value? Would he be reined in—by staff, Congress, or his own aversion to risk?
Kori Schake has been one of Trump’s fiercest critics among Republican foreign policy hands. Schake is a senior fellow and director of foreign and defense policy studies at the American Enterprise Institute and the author of Safe Passage: The Transition From British to American Hegemony (https://www.amazon.com/Safe-Passage-Transition-American-Hegemony/dp/0674975073#:~:text=Over%20this%20period%2C%20Safe%20Passage,and%20different%20from%20other%20nati...

What Is Foreign Policy?
Foreign policy is how a country uses different strategies to guide its relationships with other countries and international organizations.
This means that foreign policy is made up of different global issues, relationships with other countries, and even domestic politics. The foreign policy of the U.S. government may change between different presidential administrations. However, the guiding principles of U.S. foreign policy remain constant: promotion of security, democracy, prosperity, and development in the United States and around the world.
In this video, learn more about how security, democracy, prosperity, and development inform U.S. foreign policy decisions.

Matt Pottinger: Searching for an Endgame With China | Foreign Affairs Interview
In just a few short years, the United States’ China policy has undergone nothing short of a revolution. Few people have been more central to that shift than Matt Pottinger. He was a reporter in China for Reuters and The Wall Street Journal, then a U.S. Marine, deploying to Iraq and Afghanistan. He went on to become the top policymaker on Asia and the deputy national security adviser in the Trump administration.
Pottinger argues in a new essay for Foreign Affairs that even though Washington’s China strategy has already gotten much tougher, it still has a ways to go—to take on more risk and lay out a clear, if radical, goal for the kind of China the United States wants to see. His views are a window into what China policy might look like if Donald Trump returns to the White House.

Inside America’s Foreign Policy Machine — with Jasmine El-Gamal
In this episode of The Lede, Jasmine El-Gamal remembers her deployment as a translator to Iraq in 2003 as a microcosm of everything that was wrong with the war. El-Gamal was in her early 20s at the time and recalls the translation test she was required to take as being woefully inadequate.
“We had no idea what we were doing, no idea what we were getting into, we didn’t even have the level of respect to sit and, not only learn these things, but teach them to people who are actually going to be going in there on the ground,” she tells New Lines’ Faisal Al Yafai on The Lede.
From Iraq, El-Gamal signed up to work as an interpreter at the notorious American military base at Guantanamo Bay which, she says, made perfect sense for someone with her interests. “I’ve always been really, really fasc...

Foreign Policy: Crash Course Government and Politics #50
Today Craig finishes up our series on U.S. Government and Politics by talking about both the least and most important aspect of government: foreign policy. Foreign policy is important because it has the potential to affect the largest number of people, but at the same time, it tends to play a minimal role in our perception of the government (unless we’re at war). Foreign policy addresses diplomacy, security, human rights, economics, and the environment at a global scale, and we’re going to talk about how our government has approached each of these policies in the past and which it tends to hold most important. As with all things political, the decisions made in fulfilling these policies can be pretty controversial, especially when considering that the President often has the last word in t...

When Russia botched its invasion of Ukraine and the West quickly came together in support of Kyiv, Russian President Vladimir Putin’s grip on power appeared shakier than ever. Last summer, an attempted coup even seemed to threaten his rule. But today, Putin looks confident. With battlefield progress in Ukraine and political turmoil ahead of the U.S. election in November, there’s reason to think things are turning in his favor.
The historian Stephen Kotkin joins us to discuss what this means for Russia’s future—and how the United States can be ready for whatever that future holds. Kotkin is the Kleinheinz Senior Fellow at the Hoover Institution at Stanford University. He is the author of the forthcoming book Stalin: Totalitarian Superpower, 1941–1990s, the last in his three-volume biography of the Soviet leader.

As the U.S. presidential election swings into high gear, speculation about a second-term Trump foreign policy is also becoming more intense. Would he push radical changes to policy on China, or Ukraine, or the war in Gaza? Can his campaign promises be taken at face value? Would he be reined in—by staff, Congress, or his own aversion to risk?
Kori Schake has been one of Trump’s fiercest critics among Republican foreign policy hands. Schake is a senior fellow and director of foreign and defense policy studies at the American Enterprise Institute and the author of Safe Passage: The Transition From British to American Hegemony (https://www.amazon.com/Safe-Passage-Transition-American-Hegemony/dp/0674975073#:~:text=Over%20this%20period%2C%20Safe%20Passage,and%20different%20from%20other%20nations.).
She served on the National Security Council and in the U.S. State Department under President George W. Bush. Yet even while warning of the consequences of a second Trump term, she shares the view that U.S. foreign policy needs to change—to align with what she calls a new conservative internationalism that would invest in American strength without neglecting the rest of the world.

Pottinger argues in a new essay for Foreign Affairs that even though Washington’s China strategy has already gotten much tougher, it still has a ways to go—to take on more risk and lay out a clear, if radical, goal for the kind of China the United States wants to see.

In this episode of The Lede, Jasmine El-Gamal remembers her deployment as a translator to Iraq in 2003 as a microcosm of everything that was wrong with the war. El-Gamal was in her early 20s at the time and recalls the translation test she was required to take as being woefully inadequate.
“We had no idea what we were doing, no idea what we were getting into, we didn’t even have the level of respect to sit and, not only learn these things, but teach them to people who are actually going to be going in there on the ground,” she tells New Lines’ Faisal Al Yafai on The Lede.
From Iraq, El-Gamal signed up to work as an interpreter at the notorious American military base at Guantanamo Bay which, she says, made perfect sense for someone with her interests. “I’ve always been really, really fascinated with what makes people do bad things, because I don’t believe that we are born with the capacity to hate or to be racist or to torture or to do any of those things. Everyone’s born with a clean slate.”
Those combined experiences changed her perception of her home country, El-Gamal says. “I had seen the full impact and the full picture of the policy choices that we had made as a country and how they affected so many people’s lives, their families, the region, our moral standing in the world.”
Outside of policy, she now runs Mind/Work Strategies, a policy and strategic communications advisory firm, and commentates regularly on foreign policy issues, focusing most recently on the war on Gaza. Informed by her background, she has publicly criticized the Biden administration’s approach to that conflict. “When I criticize the Biden administration, I’m doing so from the perspective of someone who has worked in government, who knows what our options are, who knows what it means to have a president who is not so completely one-sided in a conflict,” she says.
El-Gamal believes it was past time for President Joe Biden to step aside in the upcoming presidential election in favor of Kamala Harris. “There are some people who don’t want to leave because — and I do think Joe Biden had a little of this — where you believe in your heart that you are the only person that can fix this.”

“We had no idea what we were doing, no idea what we were getting into, we didn’t even have the level of respect to sit and, not only learn these things, but teach them to people who are actually going to be going in there on the ground,” she tells New Lines’ Faisal Al Yafai on The Lede.
From Iraq, El-Gamal signed up to work as an interpreter at the notorious American military base at Guantanamo Bay which, she says, made perfect sense for someone with her interests. “I’ve always been really, really fascinated with what makes people do bad things, because I don’t believe that we are born with the capacity to hate or to be racist or to torture or to do any of those things. Everyone’s born with a clean slate.”
Those combined experiences changed her perception of her home country, El-Gamal says. “I had seen the full impact and the full picture of the policy choices that we had made as a country and how they affected so many people’s lives, their families, the region, our moral standing in the world.”
Outside of policy, she now runs Mind/Work Strategies, a policy and strategic communications advisory firm, and commentates regularly on foreign policy issues, focusing most recently on the war on Gaza. Informed by her background, she has publicly criticized the Biden administration’s approach to that conflict. “When I criticize the Biden administration, I’m doing so from the perspective of someone who has worked in government, who knows what our options are, who knows what it means to have a president who is not so completely one-sided in a conflict,” she says.
El-Gamal believes it was past time for President Joe Biden to step aside in the upcoming presidential election in favor of Kamala Harris. “There are some people who don’t want to leave because — and I do think Joe Biden had a little of this — where you believe in your heart that you are the only person that can fix this.”

Today Craig finishes up our series on U.S. Government and Politics by talking about both the least and most important aspect of government: foreign policy. Foreign policy is important because it has the potential to affect the largest number of people, but at the same time, it tends to play a minimal role in our perception of the government (unless we’re at war). Foreign policy addresses diplomacy, security, human rights, economics, and the environment at a global scale, and we’re going to talk about how our government has approached each of these policies in the past and which it tends to hold most important. As with all things political, the decisions made in fulfilling these policies can be pretty controversial, especially when considering that the President often has the last word in these issues.
We hope this series has helped you better understand the way the U.S. government works and hopefully encouraged you to participate in the political process - here or wherever you may live. Thank you so much for watching!
