Vladimir Putin may be one of the most hated men in the world – but any path to peace with Ukraine has to also be seen from his point of view. Christopher Layne is the University Distinguished Professor of International Affairs and the Robert M. Gates Chair in National Security at Texas A&M University. He joins host Krys Boyd to discuss why Russia’s opposition of NATO has brought Europe to this point, and why the U.S. arming Ukrainians might have made the world less safe from nuclear warfare. His Harper’s Magazine article, written with Benjamin Schwarz, is “Why Are We in Ukraine?”
