Joining us to discuss this and more, ian bremmer, cbs news, Senior Global Affairs contributor. Ian, always good to see you. First iran and what you make of this . Look, demonstrations in a authoritarian regime doesnt allow them. Always a big deal. Clearly there will be a crackdown. Successful one if it continues. The reason it really matters its because this gives the hardliners in iran an opportunity to make the president and the more reformist elements vulnerable and gives President Trump an opportunity to beat up on the treatment of the iranian citizens. He has been hard line, antiiran since day one in the presidency. Makes more likely. Hard line, an type north korea as well. What do you make of the latest in north korea . Well, on the one hand the fact that the North Koreans and South Koreans are saying they would look to talk. North koreans are talking of sending athletes to the olympics, clearly a positive thing.

S. Doesnt want to do it free trade. Ill lead trade. U. S. Doesnt want to write checks for infrastructure, u. S. Wants to leave the climate change, ill get involved. That makes countries and, other allies start hedging from washington and towards beijing. 2017 felt like an extraordinary year in the news you point no geo political crisis ills . Were due for one . Last time a big global crisis, decade ago, 2008, economic crisis. We are facing that kind of instability geo politically. The United States is the one country that could do something about it. Our response is America First baby. Choice. So clearly you fix it or the wheels start falling off. And 2018, there are an awful lot of potholes on this road.
