כבר מאות שנים שמצר הים הזה מעלה ומפיל אימפריות. עכשיו סין תלויה בו
בפרק הזה ננסה להבין איזה משחק הודו משחקת ואיך זה קשור לטראמפ ולמלחמה באוקראינה. נברר איך המהלכים של סין קשורים למצר ימי שאחראי לעלייתן ונפילתן של אימפריות ולמה מנהיגי העולם דוהרים לעבר שריפת העתיד.

מה קרה למעמד שחשב שהוא לטובת כולם? - רוזה מדיה روزا ميديا
איך קרה שמעמד של רופאים, מורים, עיתונאים ושופטים - שראה את עצמו כשומר הדמוקרטיה - הפך בעיני רבים לסמל של התנשאות, ניתוק ושליטה?
