Episode notes
INSIGHT

Putin's Reframing

  • Putin reframed the conversation about Russia and Ukraine by engaging in bilateral talks with the U.S. that seemingly disregard the ongoing conflict.
  • This shift raises concerns about whether the U.S. should prioritize its relationship with Russia over supporting Ukraine and upholding international norms against territorial conquest.
ADVICE

Seizing Russian Assets

  • The EU should seize frozen Russian assets and use them to purchase weapons from U.S. companies for Ukraine.
  • This approach strengthens Ukraine's defense, supports the U.S. defense industry, and reduces the burden on U.S. taxpayers.
INSIGHT

Trump's Motivation

  • Trump's potential motivation for not pushing Europe to seize frozen Russian assets might be his desire to personally control negotiations and receive credit for any resulting deal.
  • He wants to maintain control over the situation and present himself as the key negotiator.
