Was going to post this weekend about the salient issues around Russia v Ukraine, but a colleague saved me and sent me this video. I think it says much of it, much better, than I ever could.
It doesn’t deal too much with either historical or current international relations or internal Russian politics; nor does it address the complex internal Ukraine politics. It does however address the historical & modern economic considerations brilliantly. And these are probably the primary concerns right throughout history, anyway.
So although the coverage is limited in some ways, one thing a degree in both history and politics has taught me is that you have to cut your cloth.
This is very well worth a watch for anyone trying to understand what is certainly potentially the most significant crisis in my lifetime.
