About this episode
Melanie, Zack, and Chris, survey the course of Russia's brutal war of aggression in Ukraine at the one-year point, with a focus on a recent paper by RAND's Samuel Charap and Miranda Priebe. How did we get here? What key assumptions have been tested? And what does that mean for the future? How do U.S. and Ukrainian interests in this war align or conflict? Does a long war serve anyone's interest? And what are the prospects that this war will end any time soon? Grievances for China's mishandling of the balloon fiasco, and to Disney for bowing to the Chinese Communist Party's implicit censorship. Attapeople to those negotiating a new Compact of Free Association with countries in the South Pacific, for the few smart voices trying to dial down the hysteria over balloons, and to those members of Congress hoping to repeal the 2002 Iraq war AUMF.
