KAPTalks - Globalisation after COVID. Business as usual, or not? (With comments on Ukraine & Russia)

As the world comes out of the Covid pandemic, what are the major forces that will shape globalization? Will the more prominent role of the state undermine the level playing field? Will global value chains be reshuffled? How will policies to combat climate change affect cross-border flows of goods and investment? Does digitalisation matter for international trade and within-country inequality? And how is this relevant to understanding the situation in Russia and Ukraine?

We can't go back to normal, very soon a loaf of bread will cost a days wages, read Revelation 6:6! This is all part of the end times scenario, the rapture and the 7year Tribulation with the Antichrist (666) are right around the corner. Please get saved and rapture ready: accept JESUS CHRIST as your Lord and Savior today!!! This must come from the bottom of your heart and don't forget, JESUS is GOD, see John 1! Read biblical end times prophecy, listen to Dr. Ron Rhodes on end times chronology.
