A history lesson with Stephen Kotkin
In This Episode
James and Al are joined by foreign affairs and Russian expert Stephen Kotkin for a deep dive into the history of the Soviet Union, how Putin is running the country in its aftermath, and the current state of the war in Ukraine. What role do the United States and the European powers have in repulsing their aggression? Will Ukraine hold firm? And how does the conflict impact the world?
