American Renewal?

Chris, Zack, and Melanie sit down for a retrospective
episode about the Biden administration’s foreign and defense
policy. Using U.S. Secretary of State Antony
Blinken’s Foreign Affairs article “America’s Strategy
of Renewal,” they ask if the United States is better off in terms
of national security than it was four years ago. What are the
most important accomplishments of the Biden team, and what have
been its critical failures? Are our alliance relationships as
strong as Blinken wants us to believe? What opportunities were
missed, and which were seized?


Zack and Melanie are amazed by what Elon Musk has done with
SpaceX, and Chris is disappointed that the administration hasn’t
shut the door on Ukraine joining NATO.
