94. Special Release: Dr Mike Martin - Cracks in Putin’s Autocracy: Dissent, Mutiny, and Shifting Tides
Manage episode 367449398 series 2970966
Today, I spoke with Dr Mike Martin who is one of the go-to voices for insights and analysis of the war in Ukraine.
Mike has authored several books, amongst which is still one of my favourites on conflict titled ‘Why We Fight’. Mike also recently released a new book titled, ‘How to Fight a War’, that details why wars are won and why they are lost. The book is getting released in Australia on the 1st of July and can be ordered here.
Mike joins me today for an update on the war in Ukraine, especially on the events that transpired in Russia over the past week. Some of the themes we discussed are:
- Reasons for brittleness of autocratic regimes
- Sawing of dissent within Russian ranks
- The potential impact of the mutiny on the battlefield in Ukraine
- Discussion on the seeming purge of Prigozhin’s allies
- The possible shift of position by China
- Potential future scenarios
