Alternate Shots.
The Strait, the Summit, and the Slush Fund.
After a brief hiatus, ‘Alternate Shots’ returns with a kind of status report on (1) the war in the Gulf, (2) Diverging U.S.-Israeli interests, (3) “strategic ambiguity”, Taiwan and the mainland, (4) Ukraine’s resilience, Putin’s paranoia, (5) the GOP’s rock and a hard place, and (6) The rise of Wemby and, in the NBA’s Eastern Conference Finals, the New York Knicks.
(‘Alternate Shots’ with Richard Haass and John Ellis. Recorded 21 May 2026. Produced by Dale Eisinger)
