In today's double podcast we highlight a raft of global events which are all interrelated and are contributing to reshape US thinking with respect to Ukraine, China, Russia, Iran and North Korea. We highlight a chronology of events which ended with Wang meeting with Putin and Lavrov in Moscow. The US remains deeply divided and not just along fake political party lines. However cooler heads are now realising that there needs to be fundamental changes in US foreign policy decisions and we provide many recent examples to support that assertion.
