The Future For Russia, Energy & The World

This week, Ben sits down with Senior Research Fellow on Russia and Europe at the Quincy Institute for Responsible Statecraft, Anatol Lieven, and Founder and Executive Director of Power The Future, Daniel Turner. Anatol weighs in on how Putin's decisions are affected by the information he receives from his inner circle, what possible off-ramps for peace could be, and what might be next for Vladimir Putin. Then, Daniel discusses how the war has affected the energy industry and outlines why he believes President Biden's energy policies have purposefully increased the price of oil. Later, Ben discusses Putin's request for military aid from the Chinese, why this request is so important in the larger scale of geopolitics, and he ponders how either of their options could play out.   Follow Ben on Twitter: @BDomenech Learn more about your ad choices.
