Russia scholar: Trump’s push for Ukraine ceasefire will redraw Europe’s map as NATO struggles for relevance

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.

THE INTERVIEW| "No Strategy”: Expert Slams Tariff Chaos as Legally Dubious, Economically Hollow

Hilary Golston breaks down today's complicated topics each week on The Interview. In a sharp critique of the administration’s sweeping tariff push, Dr. Michael Greiner of Oakland University warns the president lacks the legal authority for politically motivated trade actions and calls the strategy incoherent. “This isn’t what the statute says,” he argues.

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.
