  • America, China and Russia all face crises. What does that mean for everyone else?

    America, China and Russia all face crises. What does that mean for everyone else?
    12 Nov 2026
    A new age of Great Power competition is threatening to reshape the world, as America, China and Russia each seek to assert their dominance and spheres of influence. Yet as the era of Pax Americana recedes - and as those three countries face challenges of their own - can a new international order emerge? In the new book After America: The End of the Old Order and the Rise of the Middle Powers, Sir Robin Niblett, renowned expert on international affairs and Warden of New College, Oxford, puts the case for a new consensus, between those ‘middle powers’ reliant on trade and co-operation to look after their own, and all of our collective interests. In today’s episode, Gavin Esler joins Sir Robin to discuss the shape of things to come. • Buy Sir Robin’s After America from our affiliate bookshop and you’ll help fund the podcast by earning us a small commission for every sale.

  • What Trump’s midterm humiliation means for global conflict

    What Trump’s midterm humiliation means for global conflict
    6 Nov 2026
    How will Trump and the GOP’s monumental defeats in the midterms impact US foreign policy? Will the resounding rebuke of Trumpism and Democratic control of both Houses of Congress force Trump to change course? In today’s episode: how will America’s domestic political turmoil affect the conflicts in Iran and Ukraine, and US relationships in a divided world? Gavin Esler is joined by Dr Leslie Vinjamuri, President and CEO of the Chicago Council on Global Affairs, to analyse the potential foreign policy consequences of the midterms, and discuss Trump’s legacy. • Support us on Patreon to keep This Is Not A Drill producing thought-provoking podcasts like this.

  • How Putin is playing Trump’s chaotic Ukraine “diplomacy” – with Oz Katerji

    How Putin is playing Trump’s chaotic Ukraine “diplomacy” – with Oz Katerji
    29 Oct 2026
    Trump’s erratic actions around Ukraine look less and less like sincere bids to end the war and more like attempts to cosy up to Putin, sell out Ukraine and save himself in the midterms. And Putin is using his increased impunity. Within hours of any meeting between Trump’s envoy Steve Witkoff and the Russians there’s another devastating Russian missile attack on Ukraine. Is the Trump Administration just chasing its tail on Ukraine? Does any of it matter when Putin flatly refuses to accept that Ukraine deserves to exist at all? And might Witkoff’s many failures actually give the Administration’s pro-Ukraine faction more oxygen after the midterms? Oz Katerji has reported on the Ukraine War on the ground since 2022. He talks to Michael Kimmage – history professor at Catholic University of America and author of The Abandonment of the West – about the Trumpist factions driving the President’s policies and the future for Ukraine when Trump becomes a lame duck president. • Support This Is Not A Drill on Patreon and get early, ad-free episodes, merchandise and more. • Buy The Abandonment of the West through our affiliate bookshop and you’ll help fund the podcast by earning us a small commission for every sale.

The best insight on the Russian invasion of Ukraine from an expert in combat and history. Helps explain the current situation and the position militarily and politically.

Best insight on Russian invasion yet

Arthur Snell does a great job in selecting and getting the best from his guests. The sort of analysis that usually gets just a few minutes on mainstream news bulletins, given the time necessary to properly convey complex subjects. Fascinating.

Excellent
