New episode: Why Kyiv May Fall Acclaimed military historian Max Hastings discusses the Russian way of war.
Military historian Max Hastings, an acclaimed chronicler of the twentieth century's terrible wars, says Ukraine's defenders are inspiring the world with their courage and resilience in the face of Russia's unprovoked onslaught. But Hastings says Russia remains enormously powerful compared to Ukraine, and therefore may batter its way to something Putin can call victory.
In this episode, Hastings discusses the Russian way of war, the prospects for a negotiated settlement, the ideas motivating Putin's revanchism, and the parallels with the previous century's ethno-nationalist conflicts. This is a podcast for people who want to think historically about current events. Everything happening today comes from something, somewhere. The past shapes the present.
