About this listen

As 2026 begins, Trudy Stern takes stock of a turbulent global landscape and asks whether President Trump’s promise to end wars and restore deterrence has delivered real results. Joined by Middle East and national security expert Dr. Jonathan Schanzer, the conversation examines the state of global conflict after 2025—from Iran’s nuclear ambitions and regional proxies to shifting power dynamics in the Middle East, Ukraine, and beyond. Together, they assess where U.S. strategy has succeeded, where it has fallen short, and whether today’s conflicts are isolated crises or part of a broader global struggle shaping the year ahead.
