U.S. Plays Nuclear Chicken in Korea, Ukraine, Taiwan — What’s the Endgame?

U.S. Plays Nuclear Chicken in Korea, Ukraine, Taiwan — What’s the Endgame?

A new era of global politics is rapidly developing. The United States just announced plans to dock nuclear submarines in South Korea. Ukrainian President Zelensky speaks with Chinese President Xi. Former self-declared “Venezuelan President” Juan Guaido sneaks back to Miami. BRICS has 19 new requests to join. What do these developments and others indicate about the changing world, economy, and struggle for freedom around the globe?

Brian is joined by Ben Norton, an investigative journalist based in Latin America, and editor of the independent news website Geopolitical Economy Report, which you can find at geopoliticaleconomy.com.
