TED Talks Daily · Two wars, no clear exit plan. Now what? | Ian Bremmer · 1 Aug 2026 podcast

um recently and he is very deeply skeptical about the israeli prime minister and about israel um trying to push for more american engagement in a war that is in more in israel's interest than in the united states um and and i feel quite strongly um that uh that trump is also mistrustful of what the israelis are trying to get the americans to do here

So the relationship is solid.

The integration of intelligence, defense forces, that's not changing under Trump at all.

So, I mean, I would rather be running right now as a Democrat for 2028 than as a Republican, but that's a long way away, and things can change.

We don't know where the economy's gonna be.

We don't know what AI is gonna look like.

We don't know what the geopolitical space is gonna be.

But right now, certainly,
