Putin, NATO and Brittney Griner with Ian Bremmer

Are rumors that Putin has cancer true? What are the chances WNBA star Brittney Griner is released soon? And what does it mean if Finland and Sweden join NATO, quickly? Political scientist Ian Bremmer shares his insight on these topics and the future of the fight against Russia in Ukraine in this episode. We also get into his new book, “The Power of Crisis: How Three Threats – and Our Response – Will Change the World.” He argues that three new crises will force change on us, that will lead to a more cooperative and productive future. Among the surprises: he says COVID wasn’t a big enough crisis to force change, and the world is doing better fighting climate change than you might think. We get into all of it in this episode. Bremmer is an expert on global political risk and the founder of political risk research and consulting firm Eurasia Group.
