Will the U.S. pursue an all-out war in Venezuela, in another attempt for regime change? How is the U.S. going to handle the proxy war against Russia, as the government they built in Kiev is at risk of falling apart? And how is the U.S. going to try to contain the rise of China, as it presents the greatest challenge to Washington yet?
Those are a few of the pressing issues we discussed with Dr. John Mearsheimer, an author, international relations expert and professor at the University of Chicago. He noted that while the Trump Admin may be willing to attempt to make a deal with the current government in Venezuela, they are not likely to forget a Russian victory in Ukraine, or to back away from an increasingly powerful China.
