In this episode of The Source, our senior editor Zain Raza speaks with historian Prof. Peter Kuznick about some of the most consequential global developments shaping world affairs — and examines the critical context often missing from mainstream coverage.
They begin in the United States, where new revelations from the Epstein files and a string of key Democratic victories raise fresh questions about Donald Trump’s political trajectory and the stability of Republican power heading into the midterms. The conversation then turns to the death of Dick Cheney and a re-assessment of his legacy, before moving to Ukraine, where several major geopolitical developments coincide with a corruption scandal shaking Kyiv’s leadership. Kuznick also discusses Washington’s renewed nuclear testing program and its implications for global security and arms control. The interview then shifts to Gaza, analyzing whether Trump’s ceasefire and “peace plan” can hold amid worsening humanitarian conditions in both Gaza and the West Bank. Finally, they examine Venezuela and the broader U.S. posture in Latin America and the Caribbean, exploring what recent military actions in the region reveal about Washington’s strategic aims.
