The End of American Global Power? W/ Anusar Farooqui | The Time of Monsters with Jeet Heer

About this episode

The episode discusses the potential end of American global power and the rise of a multipolar world with guest Anusar Farooqui.

The conflict in the Middle East is currently in an intermittent holding action with an extended ceasefire but no diplomatic breakthrough. To assess where things are going, I sat down with the foreign policy analyst Anusar Farooqui, who runs an excellent substack called Policy Tensor and posts on Twitter here . We discussed the resiliency and growing stature of Iran, as well as the signs that unipolar US hegemony is coming to an end, to be replaced by a multipolar world.
