Summary

In Episode 11, Part 3 of Diplomacy and Discourse , we dive into today’s most dangerous flashpoints—Ukraine, the South China Sea, and the Middle East—to reveal how power politics is alive, brutal, and evolving. From Russia’s Arctic ambitions to China’s Indo-Pacific expansionism, and from Iranian proxies to Israeli deterrence, this episode maps the high-stakes battlegrounds shaping our world. We also explore U.S. foreign policy, Trump vs. Biden strategies, and the rise of multi-alignment in a rapidly fragmenting global order. Power politics didn’t die with the Cold War—it simply changed form. Tune in for a real-world look at the chessboard of 21st-century geopolitics. 💬 Like the episode?
