Putin Got It all Wrong with Ukraine
Manage episode 418280948 series 3566483
Just before the world healed from Covid 19 pandemic, Russia's president, Putin waged a territorial war against its historical neighbor Ukraine with an aim of annexing regions in Eastern Ukriane whose populations are predominantly russian. Given the visible economic and miltary power assymtries between the two countries, many countries, experts and Putin thought that this was to end in few moments after as Russia was evidently percieved as significantly capable of annexing those Ukrainian territories as he did years ago with Crimea. But to date, the russian agression still continues, which means that the war is still on and has shockingly challenged Putin's expectations about this war. This therefore means, even to a person that don't follow closely on this war, that he in deed got many things wrong about this war before he started it.
In this episode, I broadly discuss how I think Putin did serious miscalculations before te aggression. Listen, rate and follow my account in spotify.
