Oct 10, 2025
Sir Bill Browder, a financier and anti-corruption advocate known for his work against Russian corruption, joins to discuss the complexities of US-Russia relations. He critiques Putin’s conflicting comments on peace while waging war in Ukraine. Browder suggests a strategic move for Trump to cut off key oil buyers in China, India, and Turkey to weaken Russia significantly. He also touches on the implications of Russia’s market decline and the bipartisan support for tougher measures against the Kremlin.

Episode notes
Putin Has No Credibility On Peace
- Vladimir Putin praising Trump on peace is grotesque because Putin is prosecutable for war crimes in Ukraine.
- Bill Browder says Putin should be facing The Hague rather than commenting on Nobel Prizes.
Putin Rejected A Proposed Ceasefire
- Putin ignored Trump's call for a 30-day ceasefire while Zelensky agreed and Russia resumed nightly bombings of civilians.
- Browder calls Putin's statements cynical and highlights constant terror against Ukrainians.
Land Gains Came At Huge Human Cost
