James Kirchick

James Kirchick, author of The End of Europe, provides insights into the shifting political landscape in Germany, including the surprising rise of the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD). He discusses Vice President J.D. Vance’s provocative speech at the Munich Security Conference and its implications for U.S.-European relations. Kirchick also explores immigration challenges in Europe, critiques Angela Merkel’s policies, and raises concerns over the growing polarization in German politics, all while advocating for more nuanced political discourse.
