5. The Liberal International Order, Part 2 - Parminder Biant (3 July 2026) IPR USA

Okay, I would like to welcome us back to part two of our discussion today. What we're discussing is the liberal international order and in connection with that, the old and new covenant.

It's about the whole system. What it was created to do.

What it was unable to do. And the result of all of that. And simply put this liberal world order had to come to an end. And connected with that liberal world order is this idea of the left or the sick. Now, the reason I bring all of that up is because if we were to if I were to

ask people privately, individually where where do you stand? You stand uh on the left or the right? And and I hope that I wouldn't be using um inflammatory language. I wouldn't say, you know, you're a socialist or a communist or something like that. Um but you say where do you lean on the left or
