Danny and Derek welcome back Emma Ashford, senior fellow with the Reimagining US Grand Strategy program at the Stimson Center, and Anatol Lieven, director of the Eurasia Program at the Quincy Institute for Responsible Statecraft, for a discussion examining the Russian invasion of Ukraine one year into the conflict. They discuss the present circumstances of the war and how they compare with initial expectations, the response of Europe and the US, negotiations and what a potential endgame might look like, the ramifications of the rise in anti-Russian sentiment, the effect of sanctions on Russia, and more.
Check out Emma’s book Oil, the State, and War: The Foreign Policies of Petrostates as well as Anatol’s most recent book Climate Change and the Nation State: The Case for Nationalism in a Warming World!
