In this engaging episode of Apropos, presented by Ness & Associates and CFA Society New York, esteemed guest Mr. Frank Kelly delves into a compelling discussion on "The Latest in Geopolitics and the Chaos in D.C." and their consequential impacts on global financial markets.
The spotlight was on the pressing geopolitical issues affecting the world, with a particular focus on the ongoing War in Israel. Unprecedented in its nature, this conflict echoes the unsettling trends witnessed in various global hotspots, notably drawing parallels to the intensity of the Ukraine-Russia War, the most significant military confrontation in Europe since World War II.
Unfolding amidst these international tensions is the notable absence of progress in the House of Representatives, with the lack of a House Speaker, amplifying the political gridlock in the most influential democracy in the world. As of the recording date on October 16, 2023, the inability to drive legislative actions speaks volumes about the current challenges faced by our nation.
As we approach the close of 2023 and look ahead to the upcoming election year in 2024, the front-running candidates reflect the deepening polarization within the political landscape, capturing the essence of the present societal turmoil characterized by a profound sense of disorientation and a dire need for decisive leadership.
