End of Year (and the world as we know it) #097

As 2024 draws to a close, the cracks in the global order have become impossible to ignore. From Ukraine’s waning prospects in its war against Russia and Western disengagement to the political chaos in the Middle East, the world is at a crossroads. On top of that, we discuss the unchecked power of billionaires, the growing dominance of the populist right, and the harsh realities of climate change.As we reflect on the changes and challenges of this year, we hope that the Western Bubble Podcast has helped shed light on some of the key events shaping our world. Your support means everything to us, and we look forward to continuing this journey together in 2025. Wishing you a joyful New Year filled with insight, growth, and inspiration!This podcast is published with the help of RAIA NOW gUG but is an individual project between the Director of RAIA Dario Hasenstab and Balder Hageraats.
