Podcast 158 - The West in crisis
from Socialist correspondent · host Socialist Correspondent
The West’s multifaceted crisis is undermining the established norms of power, alliances and economic systems. This has been exposed and made worse by the United States and Israel’s war against Iran and all its unintended consequences. No one can predict the longer term implications of Donald Trump’s miscalculation over launching the war or whether it will mark a decisive point in US decline. However the trends marking that decline, discernible in recent years, have certainly been exacerbated and there are lessons for countries and peoples across the globe.
