    The Munich Security Conference might just be the most famous conference you’ve never heard of.

In this episode, host Jessie Graham takes a look back at the 2003 conference, when German Foreign Minister Joschka Fischer confronted U.S. Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld. Rumsfeld was making a case for European nations to join the United States in a coalition against Iraq. Fischer’s remark “I am not convinced” was a stark rebuke to Rumsfeld and marked a dramatic shift in the relationship between Europe and the United States. Check out⁠ the latest⁠ from the Munich Security Conference.
