Complex Strategy: Navigating International & Domestic Relations

Ben has two very different, but vital conversations. He speaks with Deputy Director of the Scowcroft Center for Strategy and Security, Matthew Kroenig, to discuss how the United States and NATO allies can navigate the complex geopolitical strategy in responding to Russia's war on Ukraine. Plus, how the war has changed China's calculus towards Taiwan. Then, Ben shifts gears and brings on Washington Post columnist and author of 'Rethinking Sex,' Christine Emba, to discuss the challenges of dating under the umbrella of the 'Me Too' movement, online dating, and hook-up culture. The two discuss how both men and women, in separate ways, are left feeling empty due to complex modern standards in the dating world. Later, Ben breaks down why prominent journalists such as Brian Stelter and Anne Applebaum struggled to answer questions from students at the University of Chicago on media bias and disinformation.
