Robert Fox
Tipping Point or Transit Point
Summary
It’s difficult to determine an event’s tipping point, yet the conflicts in the Middle East and Eastern Europe appear to have reached it. With Russia’s recent re-election of President Putin, Robert Fox asks, is Putin’s confrontation with the West at a tipping point, or at a transit point? He asks this same question of the conflict in Gaza and what the long term effects of the war will be. Despite the difficulty in accessing reliable news of these conflicts, Fox argues that these crises must be assessed as they will greatly impact the 2024 elections around the world.
