From almost going nuclear with North Korea to seeking to use the govt. to go after his enemies, Trump's presidency was dangerous — and a new book shows how dire that threat was.

Russia’s nuclear weapons threat violates a longstanding worldwide taboo against the use of such horrific weapons of mass destruction. How worried should we be about Putin’s rhetoric?
@NinaTannenwald and @Cirincione discuss with @mehdirhasan — tune in on @MSNBConPeacock.

Just how worried should we be about a Russian nuclear escalation? “I think we are at the most dangerous moment that we’ve been at since the Cuban Missile Crisis,” @NinaTannenwald says.

Brazil’s far-right leader outperformed expectations in the country’s presidential election — a phenomenon that feels oddly similar to the surprising results of the 2016 U.S. presidential race.
@JamesNGreen agrees, telling @mehdirhasan: “It’s a very apt comparison." WATCH:

Biden hasn’t kept his promise to make Saudi Arabia a “pariah” on the world stage — a move that has international effects, @LinaAlhathloul says.
“Rehabilitating MBS...will destabilize the whole region,” she tells @mehdirhasan. “It should be disappointing to the whole world.”

In spite of polls that predicted otherwise, Trump-backed President Jair Bolsonaro shocked everyone in Brazil’s presidential race, earning enough votes to force a runoff.
“Fascism, sadly, isn’t going anywhere,” says @mehdirhasan. “Don’t believe polls that tell you otherwise.”

When Joe Biden ran for president, he vowed to make Saudi Arabia a “pariah” over its human rights abuses.
But 4 years after journalist Jamal Khashoggi was killed, @mehdirhasan highlights how the Saudi Crown Prince who's been accused of his murder hasn't been held accountable.

How could a second Trump admin use the military?
A collapse of U.S. military leadership amid an "attempted Stalinist purge ... is not outside of the realm of possibility," @PaulDEaton52 says: "And yes, it would robustly degrade the combat capability of all our services."

Burkina Faso is the latest African nation to suffer a military coup. But that wouldn't happen in the U.S., right? Right?
Likely not, @mehdirhasan says. But we could see military leaders purge dissenters, and forces deployed against Americans. Just take Trump’s own word for it:

It’s been four years since Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi's killing. Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman is accused of ordering that murder, but will Biden ever hold him to account?

There are many reasons to lose sleep over a second Trump presidency — including how he’d politicize the military as commander-in-chief.
So how worried should we be? @PaulDEaton52 joins @mehdirhasan on @MSNBConPeacock to discuss — don't miss their conversation.

Iranians are continuing to take to the streets, protesting Masha Amini’s death after she was taken into police custody.
@WajahatAli tells @MehdiRHasan Americans need to follow their example and, “Stand up for women all around the world… they need male allies right now.”

.@rulajebreal knows Italian politics better than most, so is the country’s new far-right prime minister a fascist?

Vladimir Putin’s threats are worrying Ukrainian officials who warn the risk Russia may use a tactical nuclear weapon is rising.
@ChrisVanHollen tells @MehdiRHasan that while U.S. intel says the risk is low, “We need to take Putin’s threats seriously.”
