Episode notes
Ukraine Likely Lost, NATO Will Double Down
- Professor Chang argues Ukraine is effectively lost and its statehood has been destroyed by casualties and displacement.
- He predicts NATO will double down to avoid admitting failure, risking further escalation.
Mission Creep Is NATO’s Hidden Path To War
- NATO already fights via weaponry, intelligence and special forces, producing mission creep into direct involvement.
- Professor Chang warns mission creep may force drafts and deepen European political crises.
US Detached Calculations Drive Escalation
- The United States drives escalation because it faces fewer direct domestic consequences than Europe.
- Washington expects prolonged fighting to exhaust Russia, a belief Chang calls strategically naïve.
