The Mirror of Fear - With Michael Walker
Tuesday, 29 July, 2025

Michael Walker examines how fear-driven politics have led powerful nations down self-destructive paths. Drawing on the words of the Roman historian Livy, Walker reflects on the Israeli government’s actions in Gaza and their human and economic toll, arguing that a desire for security has led to policies that ultimately weaken the state. He compares this trajectory to past U.S. military interventions, particularly in Iraq, and questions Australia’s increasing militarization in response to the so-called “China threat.” With sharp critique and a call for rational policymaking, Walker challenges listeners to consider who benefits from these cycles of fear — and who pays the price.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
