What People Get Wrong About Russia | Chris Miller
Listen now
Description
Economic historian Chris Miller helps Rep. Crenshaw deconstruct all the major arguments against American involvement in the Russia-Ukraine War. Didn’t NATO provoke Russia into war? What difference does it make to Americans what happens in Ukraine or the rest of Europe? Wouldn’t Putin stop once he has Ukraine? Aren’t we at risk of Russia using tactical nukes? Isn’t Putin just a wise Christian man who’s deeply concerned about woke ideology infecting western civilization? Chris Miller was a lecturer at the New Economic School in Moscow and a visiting researcher at the Carnegie Moscow Center. He is the author of “We Shall Be Masters: Russia’s Pivots to East Asia from Peter the Great to Putin” and “Chip Wars: The Fight for the World’s Most Critical Technology.” He is an Associate Professor of International History at Tufts University.
