Show Notes Chapter Markers

We begin this episode by looking at a question that many people have asked: why is the price of gas so high and what can be done about it. We then discuss the latest updates on the Russia-Ukraine war including the recent negotiations held in Turkey and how the Russian economy is doing. We also look at why Russia is struggling to sell its oil and consider what binds India and Russia. Finally, does Samuel Huntington’s Clash of Civilizations help us understand the war and why the argument remains so popular today.
