Altamar is dedicated to curating an informative discussion on how global issues impact all of us. The show avoids the typical Washingtonian US bias and talks about accelerating changes from a global perspective by featuring diverse guests on a range of foreign policy topics. We aim to rise above the polarization that detracts from the public’s understanding of crucial global issues. Hosted by political analyst Peter Schechter and columnist Muni Jensen.

episode 21: Germany in the Crossfire [S5, E21]
Shifting realities following Russia’s invasion have put Berlin in a tough position. Germany’s long history of trade and business with Russia has placed it deep into the crossfires of this conflict. Chancellor Olaf Scholz is facing an energy crisis and a difficult governing coalition at home while being criticized for not doing enough to help Ukraine. How is Germany’s relatively new Chancellor handling these new dynamic threats? How will Russia’s war change Germany? And what’s next for Europe?
Altamar hosts Peter Schechter and Muni Jensen are joined by Liana Fix, a Fellow for Europe at Council of Foreign Relations. Altamar’s ‘Téa’s Take’ by Téa Ivanovic examines private sector ties between Germany and Russia.
