Why today’s geopolitical confrontation affects everybody

Confrontation between the West on one hand and China and Russia on the other is growing. And the confrontation is not primarily military: it takes place in the daily lives of ordinary citizens all over the Western world. In this talk, Elisabeth Braw will discuss what is happening and what to do about it.
