COL. CEDRIC LEIGHTON: Power, Democracy and YOU
Manage episode 342295127 series 3399068
Geopolitics, international relations, and the will of powerful individuals are to many - in the West at least - something that doesn't concern them. It's about the goings on of elite 'suits' who speak a unique language designed to give as little information as possible. It's the murky underworld of hackers tapping away in dictoral countries. But while there's rarely an immediate impact of the Spook headlines, and the implications can be so gradual, the jossling among politcal powers, wealthy individuals, and ruthless dictators pose real threats to everyone.
