Edward Carr, a renowned expert on the Ukraine war, offers profound insights into the contrasting speeches of Vladimir Putin and Joe Biden. He discusses Putin's blame game versus Biden’s firm defense of democratic values. The conversation also touches on the struggle of a Chinese blogger revealing truths about the conflict amid state censorship and the growing trend of young Japanese professionals leaving for better opportunities abroad. Carr's analysis sheds light on the complexities of these international issues and their implications for peace.
