1/13/22 Trita Parsi on the American Public’s Influence on US Foreign Policy
Trita Parsi of the Quincy Institute recently wrote a piece in a German publication arguing that the noninterventionist sentiment of the Trump years was not an arbitration. So Scott brought him on to talk about it. They discuss Parsi’s expectations for the future of Europe’s security structure. They then get into whether or not public opinion has any impact on American foreign policy. Next, they discuss how global perceptions of Biden’s political situation are affecting the Iran deal negotiations. Lastly, they touch on the continuing war in Yemen.
Discussed on the show:
- “The end of American adventurism abroad” (IPS)
- Doomsday by Daniel Ellsberg
- “Biden’s Shameful Silence on Saudi Arabia’s War in Yemen” (The New Republic)
- “In Strategic Shift, U.S. Draws Closer to Yemeni Rebels” (Wall Street Journal)
Trita Parsi is the Executive Vice President of the Quincy Institute for Responsible Statecraft and the author of Losing an Enemy: Obama, Iran and the Triumph of Diplomacy. Parsi is the recipient of the 2010 Grawemeyer Award for Ideas Improving World Order. Follow him on Twitter @tparsi.
