Episode notes
Ukraine's Dire Military Situation
- Ukraine is running out of manpower, pushing elderly and women to the front lines.
- Europe may intervene militarily under a humanitarian pretext to prevent Ukraine's fall and protect NATO interests.
Sanctions as Conflict Freeze
- Sanctions rarely cause regime change but freeze conflicts to be reignited later.
- NATO aims to stabilize Ukraine with troops to stop Russian advances, maintaining a perpetual conflict status quo.
Neocon Sanctions Overreach
- Neocon sanctions on nations trading with Russia are aggressive and unrealistic.
- Secondary sanctions on countries like India provoke resistance and complicate enforcement.
