The podcast commences with an analysis of Ukraine’s offensive in Kursk, before examining whether the sanctions have had the desired effect on Russia’s economy.
Kuper, Dougherty and Garman then assess how a growing axis of authoritarianism is creating a parallel global economy, and whether Australia would have the means to survive economic headwinds if it experienced a sharp decrease in commodity demand.
The podcast wraps up discussing Iran’s mooted response to Haniyeh’s assassination, and how actors would respond to regional conflict.
Enjoy the podcast,
