This week's all about the strongmen: more specifically, Turkey's President Erdogan and Russia's President Putin, who are up to some nastiness in their respective parts of the world.
This week on The Elucidators: Decoding Global News, we dive into the deep blue waters of the Eastern Mediterranean, where Turkey’s strongman President Erdogan is in a dispute with historic enemy (and fellow NATO member) Greece, along many other neighboring countries, over access to newly discovered oil and gas resources on the sea floor. Is Erdogan still making Turkey great again, or has he bitten off more beef than he can chew this time?
We’ll also get into Putin’s poisoned political nemesis Alexei Navalny, who is lying in a medically induced coma in a Berlin hospital.
As always, thanks for listening, and if you want to help us grow, please tell your friends about us. Onward and upward!
