Harvard Prof Warns of a More Dangerous World | Tucker Carlson

Stephen Walt argues that the global order is becoming more volatile, with rising great-power rivalry, eroding restraint, and dangerous misreadings of China, Ukraine, and Iran. In this shortened recap of Tucker Carlson’s interview with the Harvard professor, the full conversation is distilled from the original long-form episode into a quick listen that covers global geopolitics, national security, and U.S. foreign policy. Walt explains why weaponized interdependence, assassination norms breaking down, and repeated American distractions in the Middle East are reshaping the balance of power. He also weighs in on the Ukraine war as a hurting stalemate, the limits of Russia’s reach, and why Iran presents a different kind of escalation risk. Listeners will come away with a sharper understanding of how Washington’s strategy, media narratives, and elite incentives influence war and diplomacy. Listen now to get the key ideas in minutes.
