We discuss misperception of mindsets, the origin of Russian Statehood, Russian mobilisation, Prof. Mearsheimer's Realist views, Russian foreign reserves and capacity to weather unprecedented sanctions, Russian stranglehold over European energy security, economic damage done to Europe as a result of these sanctions and its political consequences, the failure of deposing Vladimir Putin, Russian counter-measures such as intellectual property rights, China's silent opportunism, the role of the Global South, the future of the Post-Soviet Space, and lastly what "winning the unwinnable" war might look like. Join us for deep dive into Russia's unwinnable war.
