Ian Bremmer, president of Eurasia Group, discusses the top global risks for 2026, focusing on a U.S. political revolution under Trump, the "Donroe doctrine," and Europe's vulnerability. Bremmer details the extraction of Maduro from Venezuela, highlighting Trump's focus on personal vendettas over strategic planning, and the implications of the U.S. asserting dominance in the Western Hemisphere. He introduces the concepts of "TACO" (Trump Always Chickens Out) and "FAFO" (Fuck Around and Find Out) to explain Trump's foreign policy approach, noting how different countries react to his unilateralism. Bremmer also addresses Russia's escalating aggression against NATO and the potential for conflict, while expressing hope that the current crisis could lead to positive change through AI and citizen engagement.
