American Prestige Discussion Time, June 27: "Empire Burlesque"
Hello, and welcome to this week’s American Prestige discussion thread! Usually this is exclusive to paid subscribers, but we’re trying something a little different this week and opening the thread up to everyone. Thanks for going with the flow as we try out different features of the podcast, and, as always, feedback is welcome: americanprestige@substack.com

Hey Prestigeheads! Danny here. I just had a piece come out in Harper's Magazine that tries to think through the past, present, and future of US empire. I spent much of the spring reading what think tanks had to say about US grand strategy and US-China relations, and would love to hear your thoughts!
That article was massively important, thank you for that... I’ve been struggling lately with getting a clear view of the ypg/ pkk, is there anything that you could offer on that?
I didn't see it cross-promoted as widely as a few other guest appearances, but Danny's spot on last week's episode of kiwi activist podcast 1/200 was really good. Many years ago when I studied international relations it always seemed odd to me that realism was dismissed as this cartoonishly evil take on the world by so many people, especially as they busied themselves supporting models which acted in more cartoonishly evil ways while putting a kinder justification on it. Was really good to have the concepts and development broken down.
