Meanwhile, Putin is taking advantage of the chaos, profiting from the ongoing conflict in his war on Ukraine and sending oil tankers to Cuba. In this tumultuous landscape, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney stands as a beacon of leadership, guiding the world economy through a crisis eerily reminiscent of the onset of WW3. Join Joni Askola @askolageopolitics from Finland and Host Laura Babcock for a compelling and insightful discussion that delves into the pressing threats we face, from Iran and South Korea to Cuba and beyond—even right here in Canada.
