Ian Bremmer shares his insights on global politics this week on World In :60.
Does Putin's upcoming visit with Xi Jinping signal a continuing “no limits” partnership between China and Russia?
The relationship is certainly becoming more strategic over time. Not so much because the Russians are changing their behavior. They have very few options at this point. North Korea and Iran are their top allies. Belarus, Syria. I mean, it's a rogues’ gallery, but China is increasingly finding that their ability to work long-term in a stable and sustainable way with America's allies in Asia, with the Europeans, and with the United States itself becoming more constrained. And given all of that, willingness to be a closer ally with Russia is increasing over time. Just look at Biden putting 100% tariffs on Chinese electric vehicle exports. All of this is sending a message to the Chinese that no matter who's elected in November, that the US is trying to contain them. And yeah, I think longer term, the more they see that from the US and their allies, the closer with the Russians they will eventually be.
Why is Europe alarmed with Georgia's “foreign agents” law?
Well, here it's because this is a law. that is, in principle. nothing wrong with it. In principle, just talking about publishing those NGOs, those organizations that get at least 20% funding from external sources. In reality, it's being put in place by a bunch of political leaders that are aligned with Russia. It is almost identical to Russia's own foreign agents law, and it has been used in Russia to chilling effect, to shut down anything that feels like pro-Western democratic opposition in government institutions that in Russia are authoritarian and Georgia are leaning more authoritarian. Keep in mind, this is a Georgia that has constitutionally enshrined that they want to join the European Union and NATO. But the reality is that political officials are moving farther away from that. Big, big demonstrations and potential for violence on the ground in Georgia going forward.
How will Biden respond if Israel continues to push into Rafah?
Well, he said it's a red line, but ultimately it's going to feel like as much of a red line, I suspect, as Obama was on Syria. Yes, they will reduce some level of offensive weaponry that can be used by Israel, in Rafah. But the reality is they're going to keep providing intelligence, keep providing the vast majority of the defense spending that Israel gets from the United States and the weaponry. And there are a lot of members of Congress, Republicans and Democrats, that are really upset about the idea of suspending any support to Israel and are moving to try to block Biden legislation, which means he has to find a compromise with them in an election year. All of this puts him firmly in no man's land on the Israel-Palestine issue, not where Biden wants to be.

There is alot of good will in Africa towards Russia you clearly have not done your homework I had to stop just a few minutes into this
Hope that works out for you. Given Putins' inherent altruism, I'm sure it will.
Much Better 2day Ian.
GudJob!
🫵 ... 👏👏👏
As Obama reportedly said: “Don't underestimate Joe's ability to (expletive) things up”.
Thank you for sharing! Looks like you are better today.
Well Ian , the law in Georgia applies to all external countries that might influence Georgians including russian operatives. The fact you cannot even recognize the obvious makes u a very biased commentator in assuming this is an anti West law. There's nothing in this law that targets the West specifically. So don't spread misinformation.
It also means USA gives up not only Russian market, but also huge Chinese market.
so be it....
It also means we are less reliant on China every day. It's been in motion on the private sector side since before COVID. No stopping it now.
@@careyfreeman5056 Like or not, you have been deeply dependent on “Made in China” since no company is willing to move back to USA until you “voluntarily” reduce your wages or accept the higher shopping prices.
@@careyfreeman5056 Otherwise, Yellen wouldn’t frequently confirm to the public that she doesn’t agree with decoupling to China.
@@careyfreeman5056 IT is the reality of the manufacture supply chains in the world. People’s “greediness” for the higher wage is totally contradicted by the greediness of your capitalism system and capitalists. Your dream couldn’t “come true” unless the most western capitalists also become brainwashed, naive and radical, like Trump.
This is what you do when you get the cold shoulder from the entire western world.
Why EU is afraid of Georgia's Foreign Agent Law?
Bec EU will find it difficulty & riskier sending her agents to destabiling Georgia.
