Author: Semaj McDowell May 23, 2022 Duration: 1:53:21

The George Kennan Club is back with special guest 2nd Lieutenant Williams as we discuss in the first 45 minutes of the show the strategic complicated importance of Indonesia in the Asia-Pacific for US interests. Afterwards, we carry on a discussion on Russian cyber electoral tampering and social engineering as seen in 2016, 2020, and even back to the 1930s!


The Geopolitical Pivot, hosted by Semaj McDowell, is for anyone trying to make sense of the profound shifts reshaping our world. It moves beyond daily headlines to examine the deeper historical currents and strategic decisions that are dismantling the old, American-led order and forging a new, complex, and multi-polar international system. Each episode is a deep dive into the forces-political, economic, and historical-that explain our current moment. You'll hear detailed analysis on how decades of policy and conflict have led us here, and thoughtful exploration of the possible futures that lie ahead. This podcast doesn't offer simple answers but provides the context needed to understand the great transition of our age. It’s an essential guide for parsing the constant flux of global power, asking not just "how did we get here?" but crucially, "where do we go from here?" Tune in for a rigorous, engaging, and necessary conversation about the defining geopolitical journey of the 21st century.
