Peter Apps, host of Facing Coming Storms, takes the hot seat, quizzed by Anna-Joy on massive global shifts—Washington’s focus on China, Europe’s worry about Russia, and the UK stuck between big dreams and European realities. Recorded just after Trump’s first 100 days, we explore bold US moves in the Middle East, Taiwan’s growing tensions, and how trade wars, tech, and alliances are changing everything.Anna-Joy asks tough questions about NATO’s strength, rising isolationism, and the future of tech in warfare.
