How can we begin to make sense of the U.S. elections which has resulted in more confusion and chaos than anyone had predicted with no clear candidate even days later? What are the top down effects of the end of one system and emergence of a new, yet under-defined world order and how might the western nations play a positive role in a new ordering of international affairs? Most importantly, how might US-Russia-China relations be effected over the coming weeks, months and years?

Rising Tide Foundation director Matthew Ehret addresses these questions during a November 3 panel discussion featuring experts who were brought together by Dr. Ed Lozansky as part of the course: Save the Planet: A New Course Exploring the Role of Creative Reason in Shaping History and Geopolitics.
