Ian Bremmer: What Actually Mattered This Week: Vaccines, Russian Cyberattack, Brexit Extension LinkedIn 12/18/2020
My thoughts on some of this week’s biggest news stories:
The vaccines themselves look fantastic, but vaccine distribution will be very politicized and there are uncertainties around exact timing.
We need Republicans and Democrats to come together in terms of the vaccine and hopefully not have blamesmanship. The worse the rollout is, the more you’re going to see political fragmentation that makes it worse.
Schrodinger’s Brexit – negotiations are both alive and dead until they conclude.
Presumedly US espionage of Russia is every bit as extensive and effective as what Moscow has just pulled off in the US, which is both reassuring and.not reassuring.
