This week John and Dmitry forgo a main story to duke it out over whether the Cold War is a relevant and useful analogy for the coming era of great power competition. Should policymakers be looking to the Cold War for lessons, or should they be thinking in terms of multipolar, regional diplomacy and dispersed power centres.

We also cover:

  • Ukraine - On the one year anniversary of the invasion Dmitry and John allow themselves the schadenfreude of discussing those who confidently dismissed any suggestion an invasion could possibly occur

  • Russia - China's top diplomat visits Russia, and a visit by Xi may be on the cards, where do China and Russia stand diplomatically?

  • Iran - The IAEA detects 84% enriched uranium in Iran, sparking fears it may be closer to a nuclear bomb than previously thought

International, Intrigue is the show where two former diplomats (Dmitry Grozoubinski and John Fowler) and the people they know break down the big stories in international news.
