In this episode of 1Dime Radio, I am joined by a friend of the show, Benjamin Studebaker, PhD in politics and international studies from the University of Cambridge, to discuss the recent tensions between Trump, Zelensky, Europe, Mexico, and Canada. Studebaker provides a radically nuanced take on the reasons why the US was so keen to back continue the Ukraine war previously and the logic behind Trump's administration's strategy with regard to Ukraine and NATO allies. Additionally, the episode discusses Trump's new tariffs on Canada and how they have radically altered the Canadian political landscape. In The Backroom segment on Patreon, Benjamin and I have a very long conversation where we debate MMT (Modern Monetary Theory), the "Political Theological Problem," and the left-right binary.
