Episode notes

The big news this week was an alarming report from South Korea’s National Intelligence Service that North Korea had transferred some of its special forces to eastern Russia where they are said to be training for deployment to the front line in Russia’s war in Ukraine.

Together Saul and Patrick discuss what the consequences of this escalation could be, as well as what the gathering of world leaders in Russia for a BRICS summit tells us about the rest of the worlds relations with Russia.
