7/04/21 — Guest: Michael Hilliard | Afghanistan, Tigray, Future of Russian Geopolitics, and the Decline of the West?

Every Friday, the team behind This Week in Geopolitics gathers to unpack the complex international stories that are shaping headlines. Hosts Clay and Andrew, from the analysis firm Global Guessing, bring their perspective to the conversation alongside Ross from AR Global Security, whose background provides a grounded, practical lens. Together, they move beyond the day's news cycle to examine the underlying forces, historical context, and potential long-term consequences of global events. You’ll hear them debate shifting alliances, economic tensions, and regional conflicts, aiming to connect the dots in a way that’s substantive yet accessible. This isn’t about rapid-fire hot takes; it’s a considered dialogue designed for anyone trying to understand the "why" behind the world map’s constant redrawing. Tuning into this podcast means joining a weekly deep dive where informed analysis meets candid discussion, helping to make sense of a turbulent global landscape. The result is a consistently engaging hour that clarifies the week’s most pressing geopolitical developments.
