Kellogg's Global Politics
Sleep Walking to Nuclear War?
In today’s episode, we revisit the latest developments in the Russo-Ukraine war with a focus on the growing split in US policy circles on what the end game for the conflict should look like and the seemingly blasé attitude toward the threat of nuclear war by many experts. From there we’ll pivot to a crisis that’s been impacting US families: the baby formula shortage. How does US trade policy factor in and why can’t foreign imports come to the rescue?
