As trust in the US collapses, leaders in Australia and around the world are frantically recalibrating | Julianne Schultz It will be a test to see which countries are the nimblest when it comes to responding to changing economic paradigms

Terrific from Prof Julianne Schultz on Pres. Trump's devastating impact on international relations, trust and the once 'special' American relationship: 'trust in the US has collapsed and leaders are frantically trying to recalibrate' #auspol @juliannes.bsky.social www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

London calling! My colleague, Eva Zemandl, and I took some of our students to the British Red Cross, who were fantastic giving us a warm and informative reception, and the Imperial War Museum, which was a reminder that there is always hope.

Moscow-Washington nuclear hotline has averted war in the past โ€“ but cool heads will be needed in Trumpโ€™s White House and Putinโ€™s Kremlin The โ€˜Molinkโ€™ hotline has averted a serious crisis on several occasions. But would it still be as effective, given the personalities of the two leaders?

This was a great opportunity to think about the relevance of the Moscow-Washington hotline for current and future US- Russia relations.
