Richard Haass Is Here!

Chris, Melanie, and Zack welcome Richard Haass, president of the
Council on Foreign Relations, to Net Assessment. They discuss
what the United States has gotten right and wrong the last few
decades, focusing particularly on decisions about when to use
force as well as U.S. policies
on Iraq, Afghanistan, China, and trade. Chris
demands an expanded college football playoff, Melanie is
disgusted by a congressman's animated video depicting violence
against a colleague, and Zack questions the wisdom of burning jet
fuel to attend COP26.
