Substack Live Recording with Steven Beschloss

We discussed the Folly of Realism and Trump's dangerous approach to Ukraine

Earlier this week, I sat down with Steven Beschloss for a live conversation about my new book, The Folly of Realism, and the dangers of the Trump administration’s approach to Russia and Ukraine. We explored how decades of misguided U.S. policy paved the way for Putin’s war, what to expect from the second Trump term, and why America must rethink its foreign policy strategy to prioritize long-term security over short-term deals.

I’m grateful to Steven for the insightful discussion—if you’re not already following his work, I highly recommend checking out his Substack here.
