    A conversation with Dr. Radchenko on the ongoing talks

    Please note that this episode was recorded on Saturday March 22, before ceasefire talks in Saudi Arabia As we enter talks between the US, Russia, and Ukraine (potentially among others), its worth stepping back and understanding the historical approach to talks by the Kremlin as well as the White House. What are some of the major continuities in foreign policy between the Soviet Union and Putin's Russia? What impact will that have on the ongoing talks? Are we moving towards a "sp...

    What happens to NATO, Europe, and Ukraine? A conversation with the Former Deputy Allied Commander of NATO

    Please note that this was recorded on Tuesday evening, March 18 Kyiv time, so events could have developed significantly by the time of publication. Is NATO dead? Will Russia honor the ceasefire and work towards peace? Is Putin playing Trump? Can Europe protect Ukraine without the US? These are the questions of the day and the answers will define the next generation. General Sir Richard Shirreff, Former Deputy Supreme Allied Commander of NATO, provided his answer to these quest...

    Now that Trump blew up the international order, will Europe save Ukraine?

    Considering Trump's hostility towards Ukraine and Europe, and consistent concessions to Russia, we've reached an extremely worrying point in the war. Where do talks go from here? Has Europe gotten the message that they must take care of their own security? Will Europe step up to protect Ukraine? Has the US done permanent damage to its standing in the world and in its relations with Europe? Listen in to hear from a long-time Ukraine expert, Peter Dickinson, as he shares his insights into the ...

    What the hell just happened in the Oval office and where are things going now?

    So what happens now? Trump now has suspended aid to up the ante in the talks over the rare earth mineral deal. How will Zelenskyi respond and where will things go? This was recorded on Tuesday morning Kyiv time March 4th so hope its not out of date by the time of publication hopefully by Thursday/Friday. I remain still cautiously optimistic - the incentives remain for both sides to sign this minerals deal and proceed to the next step in negotiations, where finally the US can put the p...

    As talks are set to begin, yes we should be concerned, but don't panic (yet)

    Formal talks are now imminent, and US rhetoric in the lead-up to that has unfortunately caused alot of worry, and justifiably so. But it is only a start in what will be a long process. In this episode, I provided my quick view on how we should interpret what has transpired over the past week, including at the Munich Security Conference. And yes, I remain cautiously optimistic.

    Can Trump's policy of "Peace Through Strength" work?

    Now that we know who the US president is and more about US policy towards Russia, I brought back on the show again my professor from graduate school, John Harper. Last time we spoke late in 2024, we didn't know who would be in the White House, much less what the US policy towards the war would be this year. Now we do know, so what know? What does history tell us as we enter this inflection point in the new Cold War? Can Trump end the war this year, as promised? Professor John Harper is an exp...

    Reasons to get optimistic about Trump's policy on the war - a chat with a DC insider

    “Jake Sullivan used to give the bully (Putin) his lunch money. We’re not going to do that” - Mike Waltz, US National Security Advisor Comforting words shared on my latest podcast! Good to have a former Green Beret instead of a lawyer driving US foreign policy. I had the pleasure of sitting down with Steven Moore, a DC insider fresh off of trips to DC and Davos, where he’s gained a solid understanding of Trump’s developing policy towards Russia and Ukraine. In Moore’s belief, he’s increasi...

    How do Russians support this war? A deep dive into Russian political culture with an expert

    Approaching the 4th year of this war, polls have consistently shown that an overwhelming majority of Russians still support the war. How do Russians stay supportive of the war despite everything – not only the unending atrocities inflicted on Ukrainians but also the extreme level of Russian casualties? What is it about the Kremlin’s ideology that convinces tens and tens of millions to continue to support this horrible war? To answer these questions and more, I had the pleasure of spea...
