About this episode
Between Russia's war with Ukraine and Israel's war with Hamas, it feels like we're seeing the limits of diplomacy.

Audie speaks with Julianne Smith, United States Permanent Representative to NATO, about the state of U. S. diplomacy and what it looks like when diplomacy works and when it doesn't.
