Episode notes
In this episode, we delve into the strategic decisions behind the United States' support for Ukraine's bid to join NATO, a pivotal move that predated the full-scale invasion by Russia in 2022. We explore the geopolitical calculations, the risks and rewards from both a U.S. and a European perspective, and how these actions might have influenced the security landscape in Eastern Europe. Through expert interviews and analysis, we'll assess whether the U.S. played the role of a guardian of democratic values or a gambler with regional stability at stake.
