2022's geopolitical twists and turns: Anne-Marie Slaughter & Tom Nichols discuss
2022’s Geopolitical Twists and Turns: Anne-Marie Slaughter & Tom Nichols Discuss | GZERO World
December 31, 2022

Just look at Vladimir Putin and Volodymyr Zelensky.
Putin, who started 2022 as one of the most powerful leaders in the world, in many ways has now become a global pariah. Zelensky, a former comedian few trusted with a crisis, is now TIME Magazine's Person of the Year.
On GZERO World, Ian Bremmer looks back at 2022 and forward to 2023 with frequent guests of the show: New America CEO Anne-Marie Slaughter and The Atlantic staff writer Tom Nichols.
Were fears about US democracy in peril overblown or justified? Did China's Xi Jinping gain more power, or was his regime "cut down to size" when the zero-COVID policy finally caused massive protests? Russia's invasion of Ukraine upended the geopolitical balance around the world, but where will the war lead - especially if Putin really has no endgame?
This interview was featured in a GZERO World episode: On Russia’s reckoning, China’s vulnerability & US democracy’s Dunkirk
