#352: Rising Tensions with Russia

Approximately fourteen weeks after the invasion of Ukraine, Russian forces hold 20% of Ukrainian territory. In addition, the US has approved a bill that earmarks $40 billion in aid to Ukraine. What's more, the failure to stop the outbreak of violence in Ukraine is indicative of the international system's inability to serve its own purpose. Thus, we explore the future of the multilateralism and political integration. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/riley-mlewis/support

#346: Gradually, then Suddenly

Putin is clearly an autocrat, running an engineered surveillance state based on a petro-economy.
