Putin’s New World: Iran, Venezuela & Trump on Offense

The world's power map is being redrawn — and most people don't see it yet.

Russia isn't isolated. Iran isn't cornered. Venezuela isn't forgotten. While the headlines fixate on each crisis separately, a more strategic picture is emerging: a network of alliances quietly reshaping what global influence looks like in the age of Trump.

What does Putin actually want? How are Russia, Iran, and Venezuela moving in concert? And where does U.S. foreign policy under Trump fit into all of this — as a disruptor, or an enabler?

Join the World Affairs Council of Greater Houston for an evening with one of America's foremost authorities on Russian foreign policy. Dr. Angela Stent — former National Intelligence Officer for Russia and Eurasia at the National Intelligence Council, and Georgetown University professor — has spent decades inside the rooms where U.S.-Russia policy is made. She's the author of Putin's World: Russia Against the West and With the Rest, the book that defined how Washington understands Putin's strategy.

This isn't speculation. This is the analysis that reaches the highest levels of government — now presented for Houston.
