Friday Focus – Big Israel / Big Iran & Progressivism
On this edition of the Friday Focus podcast, Janice and Rudyard spend the first half of the show talking about two concepts that have emerged that help explain some of the West’s aspirations and fears about the Ukraine War. Some analysts are now arguing that an end game to the war requires turning Ukraine into a “big” Israel similarly protected by American security guarantees. Others worry that, in response, Russia is turning into a “big” Iran which will operate permanently outside Western institutions and norms and actively thwart the West and its agenda. The remainder of the program focuses on the Trudeau government’s plunging poll numbers and what this says about the state and future of progressive politics as a group of prominent progressive leaders gather in Montreal.
