About this episode
Yanis Varoufakis and Wolfgang Munchau discuss NATO's expansion and the implications for Ukraine and European leadership.
In this episode of The Econoclasts, Yanis Varoufakis and Wolfgang Munchau target the orthodoxy of NATO’s post-1991 expansion as well as dismantling the prevailing narrative surrounding the war in Ukraine, including the logistical delusion of a Western victory and the dereliction of duty by European leadership that risks a global escalation.
