Episode notes

i didn't think he'd go that far. But it really should be the americans who are in the west generally, which is bringing up these proposals and developing them. Even if the vasion had been a walk over, they would still have to occupy this huge country filled with resentful people. And the thing that bothers me a lot is that he's sort of gottin irrational um in the last few week, a few weeks a talkig abouts noes everywhere.

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.
