The Quarreling Nations - This Week in Geopolitics

What this episode covers

In today’s episode we talk about, Russia’s stunning advances in its aim of reintegrating the former Soviet republics in Central Asia and we really take a moment to reflect on how fast they’ve managed to do so. Then we Segway into the drama going down between Belarus and its neighbors over the outcome of the country’s 2020 elections as well as how each of Belarus’ neighbors have responded to said drama. Lastly we talk yet again about Israel and Iran as recent news stories have finally picked up on the state of undeclared war between the two. Now I’m not saying that we’re 5 steps ahead… Buuuuut, maybe we are. All that and more!
