Return of The Clash of Civilizations
from Kellogg's Global Politics · host Anita Kellogg
We begin this episode by looking at a question that many people have asked: why is the price of gas so high and what can be done about it. We then discuss the latest updates on the Russia-Ukraine war including the recent negotiations held in Turkey and how the Russian economy is doing. We also look at why Russia is struggling to sell its oil and consider what binds India and Russia. Finally, does Samuel Huntington’s Clash of Civilizations help us understand the war and why the argument remains so popular today. Help Ukrainians in NeedOur hearts are broken by the tragedy that is unfolding due to the ambitions of an evil dictator. Like many of you, we feel the impotence of not being able to do more to help their fight.
