Ian Bremmer shares his insights on global politics this week on World In :60.
What do you expect from the first Trump-Biden debate?
Well, I'm going to be watching it. I am a little surprised it's happening, that they agreed on the rules which are more favorable to Biden and to so-called normal politicians. But, you know, we'll see. I think there's a lot more downside for Biden precisely because his age is perceived to be so much more of a problem. The State of the Union, he did very well. But this is a live-fire exercise. It's not a set piece. And so in that regard, there's more ways you can go badly. Having said that, if he's able to stand his ground, and if Trump seems like he's slobbing more, this is a lot more about how they appear than what they actually say. You hate to say that something is important as US presidential race, but of course, that is a lot of what American politics, especially the elections, are about.
With formal EU membership talks beginning, is Ukraine closer to accession?
Yeah. I mean, every step you can take, it's a long process. It is absolutely making it easier for the Ukrainians to actually get in. But let's keep in mind there's a lot of uncertainty out there. First of all, with French elections coming up soon, if it turns out that Le Pen's National Rally party gets a majority. Hung parliaments more likely, but if it gets a majority, she could shut down, lots of components of EU accession talks, which would include Ukraine. The Parliament would no longer support additional movement and that's a problem. You need all 27 states to allow this to go through. And France is in a position where that might be the case. Also if Trump wins in the US, keep in mind Trump does not support a strong united EU. He wants further exits. He wants a weak EU to the extent that that gives space for people like Orbán and other European members that are more skeptic to oppose accession, it could get more challenging. So, I don't think this is a done deal by any means.
China just brought back rocks from the far side of the moon. First time that's happened. Are we in a new Space Race?
Well, we are in the sense that the Chinese care a lot about having more capacity in space for scientific achievement, for national pride and also for national security. But still, if you look at the number of satellites that are up there, I mean, you know, the United States is nine times, so 900% greater. That's a pretty big deal. And that is not NASA. That is the private sector in the US. It is Elon and SpaceX. It is Jeff Bezos. It's other companies. And the fact that the entrepreneurship in the U.S has allowed American space exploration to grow, which NASA can fund and the Pentagon can fund and take advantage of, has been a huge advantage for the US.
Doesn't mean they're all and always aligned with American national security, but it's certainly not a space race versus the Chinese.

the democrats should have been getting someone else ready 3 yrs ago
They don't have anyone else. Meanwhile, the idiot R's passed up a 35-0 shutout for a chance in overtime because they honestly believe Nikki Haley is the same as Hillary Clinton. You can't get any dumber than that. I'll vote against them just because they're that stupid.
Tests. Give them mock budgets, foreign issues and domestic issues and we watch them solve it in real time on paper/digital pad to show their work on how they came up with the answer… just like elementary school math quizzes 😂. Also, vitamin b-12 and bee pollen aren’t drugs.
You clearly don't understand what elections are about in 2024 in America. You couldn't get a majority of Americans to agree on what is the right answers to any of your tests. Even if you could, it would not have any bearing on how people would vote or how the elected would govern.
@@richdobbs6595 you clearly don’t understand sarcasm
@@richdobbs6595 What is the simple definition of sarcasm?
Sarcasm refers to the use of words that mean the opposite of what you really want to say, especially in order to insult someone, or to show irritation, or just to be funny. For example, saying "they're really on top of things" to describe a group of people who are very disorganized is using sarcasm.
I agree, it was a mistake for Biden to agree to debate. They agreed back when Biden was polling worse than Trump, and maybe thought it was necessary, but he's since closed that gap and surpassed Trump in some polls. There's only downside for Biden in a debate.

This the microwaved hot pocket of presidental debates
I'm not sure I agree about downside. Trump could drive the last nail in his election coffin with an unhinged performance. And the guard rails put in place by the format remove many of Trump's tactics.
Democrats alternative candidate: Leonardo DiCaprio! why not? if Hollywood worked for the Republicans back in the day (1980).....
Why are trump supporters never wrong.. What's psychologically going on
