- Ryan sat down with three friends to talk about the war in Ukraine through the lens of a new edited volume on the topic. Enjoy this conversation with Andrea Kendall-Taylor (former CIA), Hal Brands, and Alexander Bick (former National Security Council staff), which surfaces some important disagreements and debates about the war and international order. Oh, and also buy War in Ukraine: Conflict, Strategy, and the Return of a Fractured World (www.amazon.com.... Please note this was recorded shortly before the U.S. Congress passed the security supplemental, which included aid for Ukraine.
Great podcast! Sadly more or less unnoticed, but maybe the algorithm gods will be kind soon!
It's our was to lose. Russia can NOT win unless we choose to not support Ukraine. It is on us in the global West to pick the world we want to live in. Choose wisely. Thanks.
Glory to Ukraine. God Bless Ukraine and her people. 🇺🇦🇺🇸
Excellent. Didn't think I could enjoy this without Kofman but taking a larger strategic look was a great choice.
I'm not a Putin expert, but I strongly suspect that Putin is motivated by the same thing as every other authoritarian: he wants to stay in power. That's why he supports autocrats abroad. These aren't strategic or imperial moves meant to improve Russia's strategic position, they're counter-revolutionary moves. Ukraine turning democratic was something Putin couldn't accept, because its cultural and linguistic ties to Russia could quickly lead to a spread of pro-democratic ideas into Russia.
Secondly, if the West is trying to compete for influence globally, we are doing a terrible job at it. What the global South wants is for us to rein in Israel, curb carbon emissions, and debt relief. This is not too high a price to pay to gain more allies, we just have to be willing to fight our own domestic constituencies.
“This thing will eventually stalemate.”
Everyone seems to believe that the movement of the front lines is the most important factor for determining who’s winning. This is incredibly incorrect. It’s about who runs out of resources first. As long as the west doesn’t abandon Ukraine, Ukraine will never run out of resources. The US contributed less than 1% of its military budget to military aid for Ukraine, the majority of which was old outdated equipment that needs to be replaced anyway. The US can keep things up forever without noticing. Russia obviously can’t.
Are these the same prophetic geniuses that were responsible for 20 years of occupation of Afghanistan and then Taliban takeover in a few hours. I must listen intently to their wisdom and foresight, beyond that of even Solomon😂
Something they never mention when they speak about overestimation of Russia or underestimation of Ukraine, is how they overestimate the United States. America is NOT the country it used to be.
I find it funny that these two Kremlin trolls have found this podcast before the vast public 😂
@@NotASeriousMoose Shutup
right?
@@markcollins2704 I just don’t understand what we are up to, getting embroiled in starting and financing wars and conflicts around the world that are not even in our national interest or strategic advantage.
35 trillion debt now, WTF, our grandchildren will be left clearing up the mess caused by these morons.
ukraine should have an election and allow zalushny to take the helm... zelensky should prove its a proper democracy and allowing this to happen peacefully
Ukraine has rule of law, and their law says you can't hold elections during martial law.
@@sarahsanford3682 you told us this war was about democracy, not rule of law. they will have rule of law whoever the heck is running eastern ukraine why the hell should anyone care.
@@posmoo9790 The rule of law is the core of what democracy is. That's why both don't exist in Russia.
Impossible to have rule of law when you have a dictator. Like water and oil don't mix.
@@NotASeriousMoose democracy doesn't exist if you can't choose your govt. Russia is much more of a democracy than Ukraine who refuses to even pretend to hold elections. At least Russia fakes it! Not that Putin would have lost this year anyway. He's been nothing short of brilliant.
What's this nonsense more escalation. Fight to the last Ukrainian say the rich men Nth of Richmond. As Bernard Shaw said "most people would rather die than have a original thought"
They make it sound like Russia is doing badly. Am I missing something ? . .
Propaganda for the dupes who listen to this nonsense.
Yeah you’re missing the eye watering costs Russia and by extension China is paying for this
🇺🇸🇺🇦💪
MAY 21ST THE CLOWN IS NO LONGER THE LEGAL PRESIDENT😂😂
