Condoleezza Rice: The Middle East, China, and the Case Against American Isolationism

[@MG-ye1hu]

To hear Sec. Rice speak sounds like the times when she was in office. Go around the world and tell everybody what to do, and if they don't comply, use force. I think she has not realized sufficiently that the US does not have this ultimate power anymore. The unipolar moment is over. You have to engage in a different kind of politics in this situation, i.e. pick your fights much more carefully.

Just one of several brazen lies by Rice to claim Putin never opposed NATO expansion. Not least proven otherwise by now CIA Director W.Burns’s famed report ‘Niet means niet’. The US foreign policy record since 1991 is nothing short of a calamity. EU expansion aside it is hard to think of a single success story. Contrast that with the cost in blood and treasure expended, the record is chilling.

Still stuck in a 90s/early aughts mindset. She obviously has a strong command of the “what, where, when” but the “how” eludes her. Overly simplistic analysis of the roots of populism and the international trade regimes - saying that China/Russia duplicitousness in using int’l trade as a weapon of statecraft “could not have been” foreseen is extremely disingenuous. Sad to see she has not adjusted her view over the years

Why did President Clinton say no to President Putin application to NATO?

An American led neo-liberalism is imploding into a unipolar black hole of it's own making ie; extreme individualism and insecurity. In contrast, a China led neo-socialism is expanding into a more secure multipolar world of partnerships, with BRICS proving to be a more reliable and attractive trading partner, especially throughout the developing world.

If the USA isolates itself, other powers will fill the void. I live in a South American country and China is increasingly active here

Great episode!

[@teeahtate]

She would have had my vote for POTUS because she is qualified and a great communicator.

[@TerryHofman]

I could listen to Condi and her brilliant take on big issues all day long 😊

[@Abaddonian-sz3lo]

She's brilliant as always.

[@BlueBaron3339]

Outstanding interview. Thank you.

[@musiqal333]

America needs to realize that it's 2024, not 1991, and that the world is multipolar.

[@grisall]

She's so sharp

[@jessebugz6154]

I would vote for her for president. Just saying....

[@lizgichora6472]

Thank you .

[@andriytarnovetskyy4992]

Secretary Rice is certainly one of the smartest and most talented diplomats America has ever had. Thank you very much for your service to our country.

[@BrileyBeConsulting]

Rice for President.

[@richardsimms251]

Fabulous interview with an exceptionally interesting guest.

[@George4Greece]

Great interview per usual

[@starburstsolaris6805]

Will she guide Trump on foreign affairs?.

I always felt that i had a feel for the extent of Rice's "Nation Building" urges and instincts, but this interview made me realize how much i have underestimated them! The promotion of American bombs vs. Russian "junk" bombs for India, was smooth and impressive.

[@TheCSClassroom]

A true gem

Isolationism is not in the U.S.'s best interest. While it's a secular trend not attached to any particular person, our choice of leader does make a difference in whether we accelerate along that trend or not. Trump is an isolationist while Harris is not. Many of Dr. Rice's foreign policy peers have publicly endorsed Kamala Harris. For the sake of our country, would Dr. Rice do the same?
