Dragon and Bear: Rebuilding Eastern Empires
Between China and Russia, the world's eastern powers are out to reconstruct their empires of old. Currently, we are seeing this play out in Ukraine on televisions across the globe.

CTG’s Alberto Suarez joins Adam Stevens to discuss the machinations of this new Cold War.
