The US is currently suffering a crisis in democracy, and its
effects are far-reaching. But how does it relate to the global rise
in authoritarianism and conflict? In the wake of compounding
concerns created by the recent Supreme Court immunity decision and
increasing calls for Joe Biden to step down from the Presidential
nomination due to his age, This Is Not A Drill assesses the stakes
at play for global security. America is in turmoil after the
assassination attempt against Donald Trump. But worrying
developments – from a Supreme Court decision that conceivably
puts the US President above the law, to the Democrats’ paralysis in
the face of Biden’s declining powers – point to a deeper
crisis. If America can’t function as a democracy, where does that
leave the peace and stability of the world? Emma Beals speaks
to former U.S. Director of Policy Planning Richard Haass and former
Foreign Policy Advisor to Bernie Sanders Matt Duss to explore
whether the greatest threat to American democracy is no longer
Donald Trump, but comes from within the Democratic Party
itself. Incogni keeps your private information safe, protects
