In this week’s podcast – Events, Dear Boy, Events – we analyse the latest developments from the White House.
Our guests, Isobel Lindsay and Bill Ramsay, consider the implications for Ukraine, the UK-US relationship, the world economy, and global push for increased defence spending. As international tensions rise, does this military build up benefit nations or just serve the interests of arms manufacturers?
Key themes:
- 01:54 – context
- 03:45 – US vs China
- 05:27 – implications for the Russian war in Ukraine
- 18:29 – UK-US relations
- 20:48 – Re-armament in Europe
- 33:31 – Defence priorities for Scotland
- 39:24 – Ukraine peace settlement
- 44:32 – The psychology of invasion
- 47:09 – Trump’s state visit
- 49:23 – Creativity from adversity
