Die neue Folge unseres Podcasts steht ganz im Zeichen politischer Turbulenzen rund um den Globus. Donald Trump sorgt mit radikalen Maßnahmen für Aufsehen: Von der geplanten Inhaftierung zehntausender Migranten in Guantánamo über die Einführung eines „Iron Dome“ für die USA bis hin zu umstrittenen Umsiedlungswellen für Palästinenser – sein Kurs nimmt klare Konturen an. Gleichzeitig verschärft die EU ihre Sanktionen gegen Russland, während Ungarn überraschend zustimmt.
Welche politischen Konsequenzen drohen, und wie ordnen wir diese Entwicklungen ein?
Doch nicht nur in den USA und Europa spitzen sich die Ereignisse zu: Der Nahe Osten bleibt ein Pulverfass mit Rückkehrbewegungen nach Gaza, einer fragilen Waffenruhe im Libanon und einem radikalen Umbruch in Syrien. Auch in Weißrussland sorgt die jüngste Wahl von Alexander Lukaschenko für internationale Kritik. Was steckt hinter diesen geopolitischen Verschiebungen? Wie groß ist die Gefahr einer weiteren Eskalation? Flavio von Witzleben im Gespräch mit Dr. Karin Kneissl.
