The Weekly Stewart This Week
As the show writes, "As Trump openly threatens Greenland and other European allies, Jon is joined by Adam Tooze, author of the Chartbook substack, and Ivan Krastev, Chairman of the Centre for Liberal Strategies in Sofia. Together, they examine what Trump’s Greenland ambitions reveal about his worldview, discuss the dismantling of the international order built after World War II, and assess Europe’s capacity to withstand this pressure. Plus, Jon tackles the questions 'Are we f**ked?' and 'How do anxious overthinkers get into comedy?'”
As I’ve noted, the show provides a "breakdown" of when specific topics are covered during the conversation, so you can jump to the sections that most interest you. If you watch the video on YouTube, those time codes are hyperlinked to the video and will jump you automatically to the right spot.
