Charlotte Baris: So give me a moment, dear listeners, I’m yours right now… To start this episode, I put a lot of sound bites aside. You may already know these sounds that you are going to hear if you regularly listen to La Loupe. They come from an episode at the beginning of January with the Monde service of L’Express, where we exposed the geopolitical risks that the year 2024 had in store for us.
Cyrille Pluyette: These two wars will continue this year – the one in Ukraine which continued and the one which started in the Middle East.
Axel Gyldén: Behind this artificial creation of a conflict on the Venezuelan border, it is a question of creating a new source of tensions.
Clément Daniez: These jihadist attacks will multiply.
Axel Gyldén: This November election could see the return of Donald Trump to the White House after four years of absence.
Cyrille Pluyette: Chinese President Xi Jinping has started to put pressure on Taiwan.
Charlotte Baris: I grant you, it was not a very pleasant episode. Europe and the United States are facing an unprecedented combination of crises… But imagine that they also have many assets to put forward, even if we talk little about them: “The West has not said its last word”, it’s on the front page of L’Express this week, and it’s the theme of our episode of the day!
