In this episode of This Week Explained, we dove deep into the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine, where we highlighted the importan
ce of continued aid to Ukraine and the potential consequences of a Russian victory. We also touched on the political dynamics in the U.S. affecting aid decisions and how internal politics might be influencing global strategies.We then shifted our focus to the Middle East, discussing the potential for a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas, U.S. military action in Syria, Iraq, and Yemen, and the implications of Saudi Arabia's hesitance to join BRICS+. We also covered China's explicit support for Russia amidst the Ukraine crisis, which is not surprising but still significant in the current geopolitical climate.An interesting development came from India, where a new poll suggests that the youth are leaning pro-American, which could have future implications for India's foreign policy and its role in global geopolitics.Lastly, we covered the sentencing of former CIA engineer Joshua Schult, who was convicted for the Vault 7 leak and possession of child sexual abuse images. We discussed the fine line between whistleblowing and leaking, and the severe consequences of his actions on national security.----------------------Get your discount on a brand new BlendJet2 by going to our link: https://zen.ai/analytics12subscribe and follow us: https://linktr.ee/AucoinAnalytics---------------------Disclaimer:The views and opinions expressed on the podcast 'This Week Explained' are those of the hosts and guests and do not necessarily reflect the official policy or position of any organization or entity.
