Dear CCI Friends and Colleagues,
For your consideration, two approaches to the two-front war we are witnessing and experiencing both in Ukraine and in the wider world:
- from Gilbert Doctorow, Russia studies scholar and professional Russia observer, a brief analysis of the recent Brics Summit and the potential long-term international economic ramifications;
- from Ray McGovern, former CIA analyst and former CCI citizen diplomacy delegate, a perspective on the military situation.
As always, we appreciate and look forward to your thoughts on these timely and crucial subjects.
