Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has created previously unthinkable changes in geopolitics, seemingly overnight. In this vital conversation, political analyst Ian Bremmer takes a closer look at the global implications of the war, including NATO and the EU’s renewed sense of purpose, the spiral of escalation, energy politics and the significant, potentially permanent shifts in the world order. This interview, hosted by TED global curator Bruno Giussani,, was recorded on March 10, 2022 as part of a TED Membership event and the series "TED Explains the World with Ian Bremmer."
