THE READINESS REPORT

Redi Tlhabi on Trump, institutions, and the future of US–Africa policy

In this episode of The Readiness Report, Redi Tlhabi speaks with Judd Devermont, academic, former Special Assistant to President Biden, and author of Post Strategy, a Substack on US foreign policy in Africa, to unpack the evolving landscape of US foreign assistance and shifting global power dynamics. Together, they explore how aid strategies are changing, what’s beginning to unravel, and what it all means for diplomacy, influence, and Africa’s place in a rapidly transforming world.

Write an opinionista - anything but a laborious sanctimonious audio stream.

Yup. Redi. All about the tone. Rename Sandton Drive. Vote against the US in every matter that counts. Take Israel to the ICJ but ignore Russia. And everyone else for that matter. Make friends with Iran. Don't send an ambassador? Send Jonas as the envoy. Yup. It's all the American tone! They should be deferential to us because it's woke respectful... And we deserve it, right? Right!
