Russia’s war in Ukraine was initially seen as a regional conflict but it’s having increasingly global repercussions, upending geopolitics and sparking tensions far beyond Europe. Both sides are forging new alliances with countries they only recently kept at arms length. Russia turning to an Iran still aspiring to be a nuclear power. Joe Biden swallowing his pride in a controversial visit to Saudi Arabia, which just three years ago he called a pariah.

On To the Point we ask:

Human rights and other liberal values are clearly not top of the agenda as Vladimir Putin, Joe Biden and other key leaders seek to form new alliances in troubled times. Our guests: Susanne Koelbl (Spiegel), Ulrike Herrmann (TAZ), Tyson Barker (GCFR).
