    Michael Hilliard's Conflict Update In Ukraine & Beyond

    My guest today is Michael Hilliard, creator and host of both The Red Line Podcast, and Spotlight On Central Asia, as well as a writer and analyst covering Geopolitics & defense, focusing on central Asia and Russia. Michael joined me for a chat in March of 2022, during the opening phases of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. Tanks were rolling on Kyiv, and the world was holding its collective breath. In the two years since then, fortunes have shifted numerous times, and the face of conflict has been forever changed. Today we are going to discuss the current state of not only the Ukraine war, but the state of conflict and geopolitical tensions globally, which, since our last conversation, have proven only one rule to be true: Expect the unexpected.

    Chinese Influence In Latin America With Margaret Myers

    In most images of the globe, China and Latin America are quite literally on opposite sides. However, in many ways, China and Latin America are closer than one would think, and have significant economic, diplomatic, and geopolitical interaction. Though the Pacific is vast, they are really just one ocean apart. My guest today is Margaret Myers, the director of the Asia & Latin America Program at the Inter-American Dialogue. She established the Dialogue’s China and Latin America Working Group in 2011 to examine China’s growing presence in Latin America and the Caribbean. Previously, Myers worked as a Latin America analyst and China analyst for the US Department of Defense, during which time she was deployed with the US Navy in support of Partnership of the Americas. Myers also worked as a senior China analyst for Science Applications International Corporation; a consultant for the Inter-American Development Bank

He has worked at numerous think tanks and high levels of government, assisting US leaders making decisions vis-a-vis China.
