In this episode, we dive into the seismic shifts reshaping global politics under Trump’s Project 2025. From the erosion of the social contract to the unraveling of international alliances, we explore how America’s self-sabotage is destabilizing the world order. Why is Trump undermining NATO, a cornerstone of U.S. global power? How did America’s post-WWII decisions set the stage for today’s crises? And what happens when the marginalized stop fighting for inclusion and start building their own systems? Join us as we unpack the collapse of empires, the rise of isolationism, and the dangerous game today’s elites are playing. Spoiler: history shows they’re on the losing side.

America First, Trump Last—because when the tide turns, no one is safe.

Episode from November 2024: In this episode, we dive into the 2024 U.S. election results, exploring Donald Trump's victory and the factors that set his campaign apart from Kamala Harris’s. We discuss the stark contrasts in their strategies and personas, as well as the implications for the environment, the Middle East, Ukraine, and global politics. Join Ghada in London and Amina in San Francisco for an in-depth analysis of this pivotal moment in American history

Welcome to Jetlagged Politics, where hosts Ghada and Amina tackle the complex and contentious question: Is Israel truly defending itself? In Episode 4, we dive deep into the recent assassination of Hassan Nasrallah and the unfolding escalations across the Middle East. We examine Israel’s military actions in Gaza, Lebanon, and beyond, asking whether these responses align with international laws on self-defense or signify a larger strategic agenda. Through a creative use of Bayesian process tracing and causal reasoning, we unpack the biases and beliefs surrounding this question, scrutinizing evidence from humanitarian reports, international law, and regional histories. Is this a justified defense, or are we witnessing a shift in the region’s power dynamics? Join us as we bring a critical, structured approach to this urgent issue, inviting you to question, analyze, and think beyond the headlines.
