Play (46:07 min) From the show Reading time 1 min One war can fuel another. After the United States and Israel launched an operation that began on Day One with the assassination of Iran’s Supreme Leader, Donald Trump expressed surprise at Tehran’s decision to draw in Gulf oil producers and disrupt global supplies.
From the ensuing energy crisis, lots of losers and one big winner, Russia – what with Washington now suggesting it may ease sanctions on its oil. The Kremlin’s war effort in Ukraine had been feeling the pinch but now – even at a discount, it’s finding buyers, this as the Trump administration again pushes for concessions from Kyiv.
We’ll ask how Volodymir Zelenskiy’s offer of drone technology for Gulf states measures up to Vladimir Putin’s offer to keep crude flowing, how cash-strapped Europeans will react and more broadly at what point does a war of the US and Israel's choosing spread so far and wide that it becomes a world war? With alliances like Nato no longer a given, how to deal with the danger?
Produced by François Picard, Rebecca Gnignati, Daniel Whittington, Ilayda Habip.
