Summary

Events are moving rapidly and there are processes in motion that seem to be forging a new global order. The question is what kind?

Following up on last week's episode with Alex Gendler, Sean and Derrick are back to continue the discussion of the Russo-Ukrainian War. What are the geopolitics that led to this violent and tragic episode? What are the regional and global forces that helped create it? What kind of changes to the capitalist economy can we expect to see especially out of the West's 'total financial war' on Russia? How should communists orient towards these events and what should we be building towards the future?
