Description
Hudson Institute Non-resident Fellow, Jake Barnett, joins the show from Nigeria to paint the picture of Africa's current economic and political landscape. France, the US, Russia, China and Saudi Arabia are all planted on the continent by way of direct foreign direct investment, humanitarian aid, or military support and peacekeeping. Barnett gives his outlook as to how the West is perceived regionally, and whether Chinese and Russian initiatives on the continent will have long-lasting impact or not.

1. America Is Not in Decline, but It Needs Help (feat. Walter Russell Mead): With our first episode, host Marshall Kosloff is joined by Walter Russell Mead to review what an American "Arsenal of Democracy" really means and what it looks like. Walter and Marshall survey world affairs, from the War in Ukraine to the China challenge, to prescribe what American leadership can do for a shifting world order with increasingly influential great power rivals. Walter and Marshall then return to the home front, and discuss what it would take domestically to build an Arsenal of Democracy for the 21st century.
