About This Podcast

What do Iran's shadow proxy networks, China's ideological & cyber warfare, and NATO's expanding footprint in Europe all have in common? They're shaping the future of U.S. foreign policy, whether we like it or not. Host Samuel Waitt examines some of our 21st Century Adversaries: Iran, China, Russia, and ourselves—and how their ambitions are colliding with American interests. From behind-the-scenes diplomacy to cyber threats and military alliances, we'll unpack how power really works in the modern world, and what it means for all of our futures. Follow Season 2 of Waitt, What? wherever you get your favorite audio content, and together, let's try to make sense of the global chaos, because there is a lot of it!
