Foreign policy is all over the news these days as wars rage from The Middle East to Eastern Europe. To help get a better sense of those issues, as well as what a better, more values based U.S. Foreign Policy could look like, I am joined today by Matt Duess. 

Matt is the Executive Vice President at the Center for International Foreign Policy. In the past Matt has served as a visiting scholar at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, he served as a foreign policy advisor to Senator Bernie Sanders, he was president of the Foundation for Middle East Peace and an analyst at the Center for American Progress. So he comes very well credentialed.

Matt and I had an interesting discussion on Israel and Gaza, the causes of the invasion of Ukraine and whether or not the U.S. is interested in peace, NATO expansion into the Pacific and what the rules-based international order is really about.
