The Interview

Former Soviet Union expert Dr. Ronald Suny, and Distinguished University Professor of History and Professor of Political Science at the University of Michigan and Emeritus Professor of Political Science and History at the University of Chicago, believes both the Middle East and Ukraine conflicts are moving toward “very unfair, one-sided solutions” that could permanently alter the balance of global power. Speaking with Hilary Golston ahead of a planned summit in Budapest between President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin, Suny warned that the credibility of NATO, and perhaps the post-Cold War order itself, may hang in the balance.

Former FBI Special Agent Ken Gray says the new Mideast peace deal is unlikely to bring lasting peace, warning that the agreement resembles a ceasefire more than a permanent solution.

Mark Zaid, who has represented senior government officials, spies and intelligence community members told Hilary Golston the investigation heavily hinges on whether it is tied to Bolton’s 2020 memoir The Room Where It Happened or to more recent conduct.

A high-stakes summit in Alaska has left Ukraine balancing on uncertain ground, offered Article 5-like guarantees without full NATO membership, a compromise designed to appease Moscow while placating the West.

Dr. Ronald Suny, distinguished University of Michigan historian and a preeminent expert on Soviet and post-Soviet history, spoke with Hilary Golston for The Interview about the hidden dynamics shaping the Alaska summit and what could happen next.

In a 6–3 ruling, the justices sharply limited the use of nationwide injunctions, sweeping court orders that can freeze a federal policy for the entire country, even when only a handful of plaintiffs sue. Critics argue these injunctions are essential guardrails to keep presidents in check. Supporters of the decision say they’ve become partisan weapons that let a single judge override national sentiment.
