Shadi and Damir sit down again, four days into the war in Ukraine, to look at where things stand, and where things could be going. We talk best- and worst-case scenarios, why the West can’t get militarily involved, and why the Europeans in particular are so white-hot furious about Putin's invasion.
In Part 2, available here for subscribers, we go on to discuss the perils of nuclear brinksmanship. We run through the scenarios: how likely is World War III and what would a shooting war between the United States and Russia actually look like?
