Understanding Wagner
Episode description
International, Intrigue is the show where two former diplomats (Dmitry Grozoubinski and John Fowler) and the people they know break down the big stories in international news.
This week's main story was the Wagner Group PMC, a Russian private army that's in the news both in Ukraine and in Africa. Who are they, why have they been succesful and what does their rise mean for geopolitics?
John and Dmitry also discussed:
Hong Kong - What the trials of those arrested during the 2020 proteests mean for Hong Kong's trajectory
Iran - The regime has announced it will pardon "10's of thousands," but what does it mean for recent protesters?
International Tax - The OECD has issued its ruling on implementing the international minimum tax treaty, but will the US Congress get in the way?
All this and more!
