Kellogg's Global Politics
Dr. Anita and Ryan Kellogg — experts in International Relations, Political Economy, and Energy— break down the international news shaping our world, with the lively debates you’d expect from two people who don’t always agree. Raised in red-state America, the Kelloggs bring a perspective sharpened by years living overseas and deep subject-matter expertise — Anita’s focus spans critical minerals, trade, and great-power competition, while Ryan applies his industry knowledge of energy markets and politics. Their conversation started in South Korea and hasn’t stopped since. Join them for sharp analysis, real disagreement, and a global view you won’t get from the usual pundits.

Conquering Greenland and Grading Biden's Foreign Policy
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
President-elect Donald Trump recently made his own challenge to the liberal rules-based global order by articulating an expansionist U.S. foreign policy focused on regaining control of the Panama Canal, owning Greenland, and referring to Canada as the 51st state. We discuss the likelihood of such a foreign policy agenda and how seriously we should address Trump’s tendency towards blustering remarks. Then we review and grade the last four years of Biden’s foreign policy. Is the U.S. better or worse off than when he took office?
