Best Commentary on Ukraine
Okay, best things to listen to and watch on the Russian invasion of Ukraine:
For daily news, BBC’s Ukrainecast offers first-hand reports from people in Ukraine plus interviews with journalists and policy experts.
You have to listen to the Rest is History four episodes about the collapse of the Soviet Union and the Rise of Putin. In the third episode, the quote from the Robert Harris novel Archangel is almost prophetic in comparing 90s Russia to the 20s Weimar Republic.
I love The Caspian Report, and they’ve got a great video about Russia's war in Ukraine is not going to plan, and how time is not on Putin’s side.
On the Quillette podcast, Jonathan Kay discusses the state of the war in Ukraine and what Vladimir Putin will do to salvage his stagnating invasion with Royal Military College professor Scott Maloney. Very good!
My old boss, Prof. John Blaxland, is interviewed about, “What Will It Take To End The War In Ukraine?”(@ 8:25 mins).
On how the war will end, according to Jim Gehrarty in National Review:
"The Russian invasion of Ukraine will end when one or more of four things breaks:
• Russian supply lines;
• Ukrainian ability to effectively resist;
• the Russian economy;
• the patience of some armed individuals around Putin."
CBS has a great list of ways you can donate and help the people of Ukraine.
