Today, Jason welcomes geopolitical expert Peter Zeihan to the show today to discuss the ongoing war between Russia and Ukraine. 

Peter discusses Putin’s motivations, Russia’s demographics and energy exports and if the response from the West will be enough to stop this conflict. What are the short and long term economic and agricultural implications of the Russian invasion? Peter and Jason discuss Russia’s army and nuclear weapons, NATO and America’s involvement. 

All royalties from Peter’s book sales between March 1 – May 31 will go to Ukrainian charities to help with medical needs of the refugees and the people who decided to stay behind. www.Zeihan.com 

Key Takeaways:

• Three major thrusts in Russia’s war against Ukraine: Belarus, continuing attacks on Kiev, southern front
• Partisan conflict guerrillas
• Argument that Russia doesn’t want Ukraine in NATO doesn’t hold water
• Putin’s endgame and will sanctions be effective? 
• Can Russia afford this war? Russia’s current economic reality
• Is Putin just a desperate tyrant who wants to leave a legacy? And will the US intervene directly?
• Response from NATO; Russia is seeking a multi step expansion 
• Most of the Russian soldiers are draftees
• China and Taiwan conflict and the economic and agricultural implications: widespread famine
• Oil and gas
