2022's geopolitical twists and turns: Anne-Marie Slaughter & Tom Nichols discuss
From the rise and fall of the Roman Empire to the blink-of-an-eye tenure of British PM Liz Truss, political power is fleeting.
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?

2022: The year of fleeting political power & the will of the people
From the rise and fall of the Roman Empire to the blink-of-an-eye tenure of British PM Liz Truss, political power is fleeting.
Just look at Vladimir Putin and Volodymyr Zelensky, Ian Bremmer explains on GZERO World.
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.
It's also been a year of twists and turns for two other world leaders: Xi Jinping and Joe Biden.
