We begin the episode by looking at the new phase of the war as Russia narrows its goals to focus on controlling the eastern part of Ukraine. What are the US's and NATO's next steps militarily and are energy sanctions next?
We then discuss the global impact of recent elections in France, South Korea and the upcoming presidential election in Colombia. What are the key issues at the heart of each of these elections? How did the economic strain of both COVID and inflation impact the political debates within these countries? Finally, what do these results mean for US foreign policy, particularly, towards strategic rivals - Russia and China.
