    Current events illustrate the growing conflict between Russia and the West.  The biggest war in Europe since WWII.  Growing tensions that evoke the Cold War. Imprisonment and murder of dissidents.  Detention of U.S. citizens on suspect charges.  Russian alliance with Iran.  

    Join us to hear noted author and economist Nicolas Gorjestani present a framework and history to understanding this current and growing conflict.  Mr. Gorjestani will explain:

    i) the conceptual connective tissue linking the first regime change in the former Soviet space (Georgia in 1991/92), the invasion of Georgia (2008), the invasion/annexation of Crimea (2014), and the ongoing war in Ukraine

    ii) the West’s policy towards Russia that has been shaped among other things by a misunderstanding of the nature of the Russian state and the latter’s strategy to continue to dominate the former Soviet space

    iii) that we may expect a real clash of civilizations between Vladimir Putin’s Eurasian vision of an autocracy from ‘Lisbon to Vladivostok’ versus a Western vision of liberal democracy from ‘North America to the Urals’

    iv) that the West needs to design a robust "Russia Plan" that should at least include a bold containment strategy to deal with Russia as a disruptive power in the emerging global geopolitical framework.

    Eurovision is the world’s largest live music event.  It is a nearly 70-year-old contest featuring 37 countries competing for best song. This year, Sweden hosts the contest, marking the 50th anniversary since Swedish supergroup ABBA won with the international hit “Waterloo” (wa, wa, wa, wa, Waterloo!). In the decades since ABBA won, the contest has featured generations of musical talent—including Celine Dion in 1988.

    The Dirty Secret to Solving Many of the World's Greatest Challenges

    If you watch the news, it may seem like the world is on fire.  For decades the number of people living in poverty was on the decline, and now it is on the rise as is the number of people living on one meal or less per day. The food that we eat has been grown covered in chemicals that have contaminated fresh water and salt water alike.  The good news is that the solution is at hand, but it may involve us getting a little dirty.

    The Leadership in Global Engagement Award is the annual premiere event hosted by DCFR to recognize a Colorado leader  for their outstanding achievements in linking Denver, the Front Range, and Colorado to the international community.

    Mr. Richard Lackey is a serial entrepreneur with a unique background that includes several years in emergency medical response and medical missions, as well as almost three decades as an active trader and fund manager.

    Mr. Lackey has held eight different securities licenses spanning equity, options and futures markets. Mr. Lackey has served as the Managing Director for five private funds. His expertise in emergency response management as well as the inefficiencies of markets led him along with a world-class team of experts to create the World Food Bank. The

    World Food Bank is responsible for establishing the world’s most valuable commodities as the world’s newest and potentially safest asset class. Mr. Lackey is also passionate about utilizing the World Food Bank as a solution for the inefficiencies that exist between small farmers and regional and global markets.
