Summary

Scott is joined by James Carden to discuss a possible silver lining to the new and unnecessary anti-China pact between Australia, the U.K. and the U.S. (AUKUS). Tensions broke out within NATO after France was unexpectedly cut off from a previously negotiated submarine deal with Australia. Carden thinks some infighting can do some good if it leads to the end of this out-of-date military alliance that threatens peace rather than preserving it. Discussed on the show: Video of Mearsheimer appearing to threaten Australia The Tragedy of Great Power Politics by John Mearsheimer “NATO Needs to Adapt Quickly to Stay Relevant for 2030, Report Urges” (New York Times) James Carden is the executive editor for the American Committee for US-Russia Accord and former adviser on Russia policy at the US State Department. He is a contributing writer at The Nation.
