In the latest episode of the podcast 'Kde je sever?' (Where is North?), prominent figures Ivan Mikloš and Dalibor Roháč engaged in a candid discussion about pressing global and domestic issues. Their conversation, reflecting on impressions from the recent GLOBSEC Forum in Prague, centered on the ongoing conflict in Iran and its potential international ramifications.
The analysts expressed concern that the United States might emerge internationally weakened from the conflict, while China could see its influence grow. They pointed to recent visits by Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin to Beijing as indicators of shifting global power dynamics. This geopolitical shift, they suggest, could have significant consequences for international relations and economic stability.
