Description

Most people have never heard of Guyana. Many think it’s in Africa.But Venezuelans know their CIA World Factbook inside and out. They’ve long claimed that its Western regions are rightfully theirs. And now that the Guyanese have struck oil, the Maduro regime want to take those areas by conquest.The question isn’t can Venezuela - population 30m - knock over Guyana - population 790 000. With the West presently preoccupied on two other continents, it’s: who is going to stop them?  This week the world’s biggest oil producers announced they’d be sharply cutting back on production – and the oil price fell. There’s something screwy going on in the market. But who exactly has the power to manipulate the world’s biggest most internationalised market?Finally, this week in Middle East Corner, we’ve got yet another round of damaged ships. *** Get us on Patreon, yo: https://www.patreon.com/user?u=86737989

Charting The Rise Of A Multipolar World Order Philip Pilkington is an unorthodox macroeconomist. Andrew Collingwood is an equally skeptical journalist. Lately, both have realised that - post-Ukraine, post-Afghanistan withdrawal - the old, unipolar, US-led world order is in its death throes. In its wake, something new is being born. But what shape will that take? That will depend on a combustible combination of economics and geopolitics; trade and military muscle. Each week, our duo take three off-radar news stories and explain how each is shaping our multipolar reality.
