451. Sir Richard Shirreff - Escalation is Putin's Default Strategy; Might that be Driving us Towards WW3?
Barely a week goes by without things occurring that would have been
inconceivable three years ago. Russian territory being hit by American
made munitions, history’s most substantial sanctions in place against
Russia, a near coup against the Kremlin, and Putin going cap-in-hand to
Kim-Jong-Un to prop up his ailing military. What more can happen before
these tensions and conflicts coalesce into World War 3 – especially the
expectations that Korea troops will soon be fighting on the territory of
Europe.
----------
Richard Shirreff is Co-founder and Managing Partner at Strategia
Worldwide. After graduating from Oxford, he served in the British Army
for 37 years commanding soldiers on operations or in combat at every
level from platoon to division and rising to the highest rank before
retiring from the Army as NATO’s Deputy Supreme Commander Europe.
Richard is co-Founder and Managing Partner of Strategia Worldwide. In
2016 his novel ‘2017: War with Russia’ was published in the UK, USA, and
Poland. He is an honorary Fellow of Exeter College, Oxford.

449. Steven Moore - All Outcomes from the Election Pose Risks, but what are the Main Existential Threats?
Whatever mistakes he has made in the war Vladimir Putin has retained the
Escalation Initiative, always proving he can push the war to a new
level of brutality, with the Western allies always playing catch-up, any
in many ways placing restrictions and delays on Ukraine in terms of how
it fights back. What are the implications of this dynamic for the war
and a potential Ukrainian victory?
----------
Steven Moore is a political strategist, who spent seven years as a chief
of staff and senior leadership aide in the United States Congress,
developing relationships with senior policymakers across the United
States and around the world. He worked on Capitol Hill in the House of
Representatives mostly as chief of staff for former Rep. Pete Roskam
(R-Ill.), the former chief deputy GOP whip. In that role, Moore was one
of the most influential staff members on the Republican side of the
aisle.

444. @AnnafromUkraine and @ATPGeo - Putin's Bogus Peace Ultimatum - Why Russia is not Serious about Peace
GUESTS: Anna from Ukraine - Anna Danylchuk and Jonathan MS Pearce
----------
Anna Danylchuk has been creating a war diary since the early days of the
full-scale invasion of Ukraine by Russia in 2022. Anna Danylchuk aims
to tell the truth about Ukraine and Russia’s war and cut through the
noise and propaganda. Anna is passionate about the beauty and
independence of her country, and communicates this powerfully in her
videos, in a clear and honest way.
Jonathan MS Pearce is a philosopher, author, columnist, and public
speaker with an interest in writing about almost anything, from
scepticism to science, politics, and morality, to the environment.
Essentially because everything is philosophy. He is a former teacher and
is now battling primary progressive multiple sclerosis. He can no
longer play football with his twin boys, but he can still write a good
column and book. And remarkably, and very bravely, he has just come back
from an arduous journey to Ukraine’s frontlines. His experiences are
the subject of today’s conversation.

443. Mark Galeotti - The Fall, Rise & Fall of One of the Most Dangerous Warlords in Russia and the World.
GUEST: Mark Galeotti - historian, author, security expert and academic.
----------
Yevgeny Prigozhin emerged as one of the most dangerous warlords in the
world and as one of Vladimir Putin's chief rivals in Russia's tumultuous
political climate, exiled after leading Wagner's attempted coup and
killed in a mysterious plane crash. But what is the truth about this
enigmatic figure, his role in the war with Ukraine, and the chaos
unleashed across Russia by his turn against Putin? And, in the aftermath
of his death, what is next for Russia in the new stage of late Putinism
that Prigozhin's life forged?
