The Burn Bag Podcast Snap Podcast: Dissecting the Russia/Ukraine Crisis
In our very first snap podcast, A'ndre and Ryan are joined by special guests Tyler Breeden and Theodore Tymowski. They begin by providing an update on the current situation and a brief overview. The conversation then delves into why Russia is so fixated on Ukraine, what the force posture looks like, and if an invasion is imminent. The group outlines individual projections on if and how an invasion could unfold before discussing deterrent mechanisms.
