ReThinking Foreign Policy
ReThinking Foreign Policy
Mitchell Plitnick
Foreign policy analysis that challenges the DC blob, confronts bigotry and endless war, and advocates for progressive alternatives. I'll focus particularly on the Middle East, especially Israel and Palestine, but the discussion will range all over, sometimes even into domestic issues and DC politics. We might even occasionally talk about sports and entertainment.
Murder In Iran And A Biden Government Starts To Form
In this episode I spend some time discussing the murder of Iranian scientist Mohsen Fakhrizadeh, and some of the responses to it. The main story is a look at Joe Biden's initial picks for his cabinet and lead administrative staff. Some of my views on that may surprise some of my listeners. Finally, I look at Mike Pompeo's efforts to eliminate any possibility of a Palestinian state and examine how, with the worst of intentions, Pompeo may actually have done us a favor.
