War or thaw? The Future of US-Russia Relations

Here's my extended interview on the past, present and future of US-Russia relations.

👉What to make of Donald Trump’s peace-making efforts so far?
👉What is ultimately driving US policies under the new administration?
👉Will there be any critical point when the Ukrainians, as much as they may hate Russia, would be able to rationally assess their options and self-interests?
👉Given all the Russian grievances about how the West has historically deceived Russia, why the Kremlin is investing time and effort into this opportunity?
👉Why would Russia be interested seeing more the U.S. presence in the Arctic?
👉 Would US under Trump benefit from formally recognizing Russia’s territorial gains in Ukraine to ease its own intentions at redrawing the map?
👉 Do Russia, US have a common interest in defending Christians in the MIddle East?

I seek to provide answers (aka informed opinion) to all of those questions. Have a listen.
