John J. Mearsheimer: Russia vs. Ukraine & the West: Who Has a Firmer Grip on Reality? On 29 January 2025, Lt. Col (ret.) Danny Davis and I talked on his podcast “Deep Dive” about how the Russians think about the war in Ukraine compared to how the Ukrainians and the West think about that conflict. We were especially interested in how the thinking on each side influences the chances of getting a meaningful peace agreement. Unsurprisingly, we both believe that the Russians have a much firmer grip on reality, which does not bode well for achieving a peaceful resolution of the war. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7D6bHKLuU6g&ab_channel=DanielDavis%2FDeepDive
