Listen "Saturday Mornings: International News From Nuclear Fallout and ASEAN Smackdown, to Billionaire Blowback"
Episode Synopsis
🎙️The International News Review with host Glenn van Zutphen and co-host Neil Humphreys speak to Steve Okun, CEO APAC Advisors: Iran ceasefire, is ASEAN the “B-Team of China”? And Bezos moves his wedding. In this week’s International News Review, studio guest Steve joins us for a deep-dive into global headlines starting with the aftermath of reported U.S. strikes on Iranian nuclear infrastructure. CIA Director John Ratcliffe saying there was "severe damage" —contradicting a leaked assessment—Steve unpacks whether deterrence or destruction is the endgame. Then to South and Southeast Asia, where India’s Commerce Minister Piyush Goyal says some ASEAN members are a “B-team of China.” Malaysia’s rebuke sparks a broader discussion on regional alliances, optics in trade negotiations, and the delicate balancing act between Beijing and Delhi. Finally, Jeff Bezos’ Venice wedding bash runs into controversy after protests force him to shift venues. Symbolic resistance, or just another elite inconvenience?
