YouTube Description
as posted by the channelIs the global authoritarian wave finally starting to crack? Join Matt Robison and veteran journalist Dan Perry — former Associated Press lead editor for Europe and the Middle East — for a deep dive into the growing signs of strain facing Trump in the U.S. and strongman movements around the world.
From Putin’s mounting pressures in Ukraine… to Netanyahu’s increasingly fragile coalition… to questions surrounding Xi Jinping’s China and Donald Trump’s declining approval numbers in the United States… are authoritarian leaders beginning to collide with political and economic reality?
Or are we simply entering a more unstable and fragmented global era?
We break down:
Ukraine’s surprising resilience and Europe’s shifting role
Whether China quietly benefited from the latest U.S.-China summit
Cracks forming inside Netanyahu’s governing coalition
Trump’s political vulnerabilities heading into the midterms
Why corruption and institutional decay are becoming impossible to ignore worldwide
Featuring:
Matt Robison
Dan Perry — former AP lead editor for Europe and the Middle East
