What does an end to the war in Ukraine look like? Who will bear the greatest burden when the dust settles? And has the risk of nuclear war increased since the Biden administration allowed Ukraine to strike inside Russia with U.S. missiles?
This episode of “Mehdi Unfiltered” explores these questions as Mehdi Hasan hosts Anatol Lieven, the Eurasia Program Director at the Quincy Institute and author on Russia and Ukraine, and Evelyn Farkas, the Executive Director of the McCain Institute and a former Pentagon official under President Barack Obama.
During the episode, Mehdi asks both guests whether the United States has any credibility in insisting on sanctions against Russia over its occupation of Ukraine, given its ongoing and unconditional support for Israel in Gaza.
The experts also discuss whether Russian President Vladimir Putin is bluffing with his threats to use nuclear weapons in Ukraine.

This lady is so biased! Putin has never said that he wants to recreate the former soviet union.
What was the criteria for including Evelyn Farkas on this podcast while the gentleman is spineless
This woman is fucking stupid… where do they dig up individuals like that…
Blondie should stop doing these interviews
That woman does not know Putin , neither Russia. A brainwashed teen could have the same opinion as she has , is she paid by Biden ? Does she work for the current American administration?
She is like the same people who has been fuelling the war.
Ukraine still wants the full territory back included Crimea , does she know that?
Yes , I liked the video but please next time invite someone more knowledgeable , not someone of low knowledge who clearly is spreading propaganda like that lady .

The ignorance of the dying Mainstream BS media is wild
Fargus went to college and has degrees in PR and BS. Her degrees are worth 1 piece of toilet paper hardly enough to clean up. Russia is kicking NATO's ass. Why use nucs.
How this women get a job in the first place ,it's like she is just confused. The kind of people causing war around the world 😢😢
If Putin was really concerned about NATO, his actions have rather backfired, considering that Finland and Sweden are now members of NATO as a direct result of his invasion of Ukraine. It is clear that Putin's real objection to NATO is that it is a very serious impediment to his designs on all of Eastern Europe.
Putin has never said that, he wanted to recreate Soviet union. She's lying openly this is shameful
The woman’s position on the Ukraine war and the war in Gaza is exactly why the rest of the world outside the little pocket of the West finds it hypocritical to the extreme and has nothing to do with reality
I will forever blame the maga Congress people for holding that aid soooo needed by Ukraine for whole 6 months. Way before Oct 7 happened and Netanyahu decided to go apeshit on Gaza. Which came to torpedoe Ukraine allyship globally in my opinion. Even today those maga fools are still managing to transform the most pro-US country in Europe right now into a potential enemy. That is one foreign policy i really hoped Kamala win for.
Is the use of nuclear weapons for war only acceptable when its the USA dropping the bombs? I mean who in the room has a history of nuking innocent civilians? We need to stop the hypocrisy.
LMAO!!!! @4:26ish, did she say if Putin used a nuke "it wouldn't make any difference on the battlefield" 😳😳😳
Yeah, she a FUCCING NUT JOB!!!
Ukraine is probably already stockpiling nuclear weapons. Time is not on Putin's side, or on the side of the Pan-Asian Muscovite Empire.
This are the type of people who put the lives of others in danger she lies to her teeth’s
This lady is a just another professional liar.
What about Boris Johnson scrapped the peace talks in Feb 2022 in favor of continue ground battle? Who's escalating now wicked lady?
The USA/NATO must stop mending with Ukraine and Russia will not harm anyone in the future!!!!
Where is the proof of NK troops in the war? Increasingly, I think the introduction of the NK troops narrative was to justify giving ATACAMS to Ukraine.
No sound
Biden and her????
Broken international law??? That's the West's excuse? Do as we say, not as we do.
