361. Mark Galeotti - The Russian Ways of War are as Likely to Bring Defeat as Victory History Suggests.

GUEST: Mark Galeotti - historian, author, security expert and academic.
----------

Cornered like a rat, Vladimir Putin is more dangerous than ever. We want
his regime to be unstable, fragile, and collapsing – but 14 months of
war have shown it is remarkably resilient. We wanted the Russian people
to rise up against tyranny, but more than a million fled the country
instead. Analysts, politicians, and the media have been wrong about so
much when it comes to Russia. What are we still getting wrong.
