Episode notes

I didn't expect all that much difficulty of taking over. My concern, myforfor why it seems a dumb idea, was not so much the invasion whelt would failh but the occupation would fail. The best way for china to develop into an open and friendly, warm society in tion might join up on its own accord. Other is te nity with china, with a certain amount of autonomy perhaps. But that certainly not in the direction ch China is going in.

In this conversation with the renowned Ohio State University political scientist John Mueller, author of The Stupidity of War, Retreat from Doomsday: The Obsolescence of Major War, and The Remnants of War, we discuss the ongoing crisis in Ukraine and what we might expect from Putin’s Russia in the coming weeks, months, and years, along with Dr. Mueller’s outline for how to end the current conflict and compromise with Putin. That seems unlikely at this point, but the prospects of the tragedy of millions of war refugees pouring out of Ukraine into neighboring nations, along with the number killed already and likely to be killed as the fighting escalates, why not give negotiation and compromise a chance? Read John Mueller’s op-ed that accompanies this episode.
