I am joined once again by post-Soviet scholar Bryan Gigantino to discuss the escalating war between Ukraine and Russia and whether or not 'tactical' nuclear war is inevitable. Other topics include: Who killed Darya Dugin? Who cut the Nord Stream Pipeline? Can peace be negotiated? Is Putin going 'Kim Mode' and trying to make Russia one big North Korea? Has Putin actually consolidated his power domestically with this war? What kind of regime change or civil war could happen in Russia? Has NATO and American Empire been revitalized?
