  • Geopolitical Developments: Ukraine, Belarussian Wagner forces, and West Africa coup
    This week we discuss the fact that Ukrainian forces have conducted a successful limited raid across the Nepro River, potentially opening up the possibility of a major offensive against Russian forces. There are ongoing assassination attempts against Ukrainian President Zelensky, which is seen as a crucial tactic in taking control of Kiev and Ukraine. The coup in Niger has led to diplomatic efforts from the US, but meetings with the leaders were unsuccessful, indicating a difficult situation. The junta in Niger believes their takeover is justified, and there are concerns about the President's safety if foreign military intervention occurs. The Wagner forces may use the coup in Niger to increase their presence in Africa, sparking anti-France and pro-Russian sentiment, with Western nations opposing their involvement due to past negative experiences. China's recent actions, such as refusing to approve a gas pipeline and providing limited military support, raise questions about its alliance with Russia. However, China and Russia share mutual interests in reducing US influence and challenging the existing international order.----------------------Get your discount on a brand new BlendJet2 by going to our link: https://zen.ai/analytics12subscribe and follow us: https://linktr.ee/AucoinAnalyticsMilitary Influencers Conference: https://militaryinfluencer.com/---------------------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.
