Trump: Lurching towards a New Foreign Policy? Graham E. Fuller (grahamefuller.com) 6 January 2019 If the rise of strong new powers like China poses a challenge to the older US-dominated geopolitical order, what about about the converse? The challenge to the international order created by a declining and erratic great power ever more at odds […]

The grisly details of the murder of Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi by Saudi security goons in their own consulate in Istanbul has riveted global attention like few other recent stories. Not surprisingly, the lurid descriptions of this single sensational case have far greater impact on public perceptions than the deaths of some ten thousand Yemenis—mostly civilians— in Saudi Arabia’s military operations in Yemen—facilitated by Washington and London.

Pakistan Elections—Maybe Good News for Pakistan, But Not For US Graham E. Fuller (grahamefuller.com) 8 August 2018 A bold new political face has come to power in the recent Pakistani elections, possibly offering the US a new opportunity in that country. Sadly the opportunity will likely be squandered—again. There’s something about Pakistani and US interests […]

Nukes: Intentions Matter More Than Weapons Graham E. Fuller (grahamefuller.com) 13 June 2018 The fascinating, elaborately choreographed diplomatic pas de deux in Singapore between Donald Trump and Kim Jong Un mesmerized the world over two days. Most pundits look at the (perhaps more than) half empty glass of water on the table. Indeed, most Democrats […]

Korea: The Kim Jong Un Phenomenon Graham E. Fuller (grahamefuller.com) 3 May 2018 I may be naive but I get the feeling that something possibly profound is underway with the recent dramatic flurry of diplomatic activity surrounding the once reclusive leader Kim Jong Un; it could represent a turning point in the geopolitics of East […]

Syria: bottom line questions Graham E. Fuller (grahamefuller.com) 16 April 2018 The Trump administration has just delivered several dozen military strikes against Syria purportedly aimed at chemical production and storage facilities. It was an act the international community feared might lead to overt war in Syria between the US, Iran and Russia, but it came […]

Who is containing whom? Graham E. Fuller (grahamefuller.com) 5 February 2018 Over the years “containment” has been a key US political instrument by which it has sought to isolate, starve out, or excommunicate from the “international community” regimes unwilling to accept the US-dominated world order. Yet the great irony today is that this very US […]

Our Global Repressive Political Future Graham E. Fuller (grahamefuller.com) 29 January 2019 As one looks out over the global scene, the outlook for democratic societies appears increasingly dismal. (I’ll avoid a complex discussion here about definitions of “democratic,” simply to note the broad spectrum of democracies that exist, each flawed in its own way.) Several […]
