About this episode
In this episode, we break down how recent US-led peace talks with Russia over Ukraine collapsed in Moscow, Putin’s hard line on controlling Donbas, and the fresh Russian strikes that left tens of thousands of Ukrainians without power as winter looms, while European allies worry about both escalation and concessions. We also look at how the US is simultaneously ramping up economic and military pressure on Venezuela, why this dual-front strategy risks overextending American resources and credibility, and what it could mean for NATO cohesion and domestic politics back home.
