GILBERT DOCTOROW—Today’s chat with host Nima Alkhorshid covered a lot of ground. We opened with what the apparently successful intervention by Donald Trump’s emissary in the Gaza cease-fire talks may tell us about the way that Trump’s pre-election promises of ushering in an age of peace will be realized. Of course, this naturally led to discussion of how the challenge of taking control of Netanyahu, where the U.S had the whip hand if Biden ever wished to exercise it (which he didn’t) and the challenge of dealing with Putin, who holds the high cards in the Ukraine conflict. Otherwise, we discussed how Trump’s incoming team differs from the arrogant prima donnas whom he assembled in his first term. For this it was useful to consider impressions from Marco Rubio’s Senate hearings yesterday.
I have little doubt that viewers will find here much food for thought, whether they agree with me or not.
