  • The BRICS Stacked Against the West
    Nov 17 2024

    A COP29 recap, the Taliban looks to start fresh with Trump, and Saudi Arabia condemns Israel—but wait, there’s more! Iran’s President Ibrahim Raisi shook the 2023 UNGA with bold proclamations of a “New World Order” and the West’s decline. How does a sanctions-stricken, tumultuous Iran fit into this vision? Join us as we unravel the growing alliance of anti-American powers—Russia, China, Iran, and North Korea—their role in the Ukraine war, and BRICS’ push to topple Western dominance. What does it mean for global politics, and is there hope in the chaos? There’s only one way to find out!
