Inside the Kremlin's Playbook: How Russia Really Works (with Michael Carpenter)
About this episode
Michael Carpenter discusses the complexities of Russia's power and the implications of American foreign policy on NATO.
Former OSCE ambassador and Pentagon and NSC official Michael Carpenter argues Russia is weaker than it appears yet keeps being rescued by a West gripped by fear of escalation. And that the newly transactional, alliance-busting American foreign policy undermines the remarkable success of NATO.
