In this Q&A video, I answer your questions on some of the most pressing issues in international relations and global politics. From the debate over Palestinian state recognition, to King Charles III’s ties to the UK and Canada, to whether Africa’s population boom could make it the world’s next powerhouse, we cover a wide range of topics. I also explore whether a Swiss-style presidential council could be the best model of government, whether borders should ever be redrawn on ethnic lines, and why Donald Trump has such a hostile stance toward Venezuela’s Nicolás Maduro. Finally, we look at whether Trump’s position on Ukraine has really shifted.
Timestamps are provided so you can jump straight to the questions that interest you most.
