‘Back in the USSR’ with The Wall Street Journal’s Walter Russell Mead

Subscribe to Call Me Back - with Dan SenorSubscribe

In these conversations, we’ve talked a lot about tensions on the Russia-Ukraine border. But what we haven’t talked about is whether Putin is actually trying to re-assemble the former Soviet Union, whether the US and NATO are prepared to arrest his march, and whether Putin has successfully driven a wedge between the US and Europe.

What are the stakes for us?
