Hello there I'm Chuck Todd and this is the Chuck Todd cast. So while Washington seems

frozen in time a bit in the midst of this debt limit standoff the rest of the world

continues to move in the direction of several different crises.

Ukrainian air defenses ported a massive missile attack from Russia.

Russia might have lost four aircraft in just one day,

but the US is funding for Ukraine.

Good run out as early as this summer.

What damage could that do to Ukraine's momentum?

Turkey's president in Erdogan

is facing the toughest electoral challenge of his career

as he ends up in a runoff in Turkey's free but some might question whether they're

fair elections.

We'll discuss the impacts of that election

on the rest of the world in a moment.

So joining me to discuss the big global risks these days

our political scientist Ian Bremer.

He's the president of the Eurasia group

author of the power of crisis where he says that within the world's great

crises the seeds of opportunity and improvement are often planted and we are

seeing and are we seeing an example of that now with Putin's war?

It seems that we could be, especially if the most optimistic outcome happens.

So, Mr Bremer, how are you, sir?
