EA on International Media: Historic US Elections? Let’s Hope So
EA’s Cormac Smith joined Pakistan TV’s Sana Maqbool on Friday night to consider the effect of the midterm elections on US foreign policy, particularly with respect to Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine.
Cormac explains that as foreign policy is largely in the hands of the Executive, Trump’s chaos and damage is likely to continue. He takes apart the latest Trump camp initiative, promoted by Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner, over the invasion.
Then he cuts to the chase:
The focus of Trump’s engagement with Putin is to get the war out of the way, as soon as possible, so he, his family, and his inner circle make as much money with their business deals with Russia as they can.
