Stepping Stones in the Torrent
Summary
In this discussion we examine many current events, especially Ukraine, Gaza and the hostages, the Houthi offensive against shipping, and Iran’s nuclear ambitions. Other considerations include: Should we be paying more attention to China? Can Trump deliver the kind of peace he has promised? Can we afford to go on ignoring the turmoil in different parts of Africa? Can we avoid global recession?
