Michael C. Kimmage: War in Ukraine & the pattern of zero - sum competition
Description
While Ukraine has managed to win this war in the “hearts and minds of the people” (predominantly of the West) analysts argue it’ s going to be a long war.
Michael C. Kimmage, professor of History at the Catholic University of America, author of the book “The Abandonment of the West”, and regular contributor at the Foreign Affairs is our guest in this “Ti kosmos” podcast.
Issues discussed:
What are the scenarios for the end of the crisis? Will there be an escalation or a spill over in other countries? What are the tragedies associated with this war? What is “Wartime Putinism”? Can Russia be defeated? How the debate in the US regarding the support of the war will be shaped in the coming months? Does this war bring the US closer to Europe?
Today’s Ti kosmos podcast cooperates with the Institute of International Relations and is co-hosted by Marilisa Anastasopoulou and the executive director of IDIS, Ms. Ino Afentouli.
