Russian president Vladimir Putin has badly failed to read the room by invading Ukraine, says historian and political scientist Dr Liana Fix, and there are several ways he could ultimately end up losing - even if he wins on the battlefield. In a recent piece in Foreign Affairs, Fix, a Resident Fellow at the German Marshall Fund in Washington, D.C, and co-author Michael Kimmage outlined how the "senseless" war in Ukraine will continue to backfire on Putin. Especially when one considers there are millions of interconnected Russian-Ukrainian families. Dr Fix joins the show from Berlin to discuss the mistakes Putin has made in invading Ukraine and how they will eventually come back to bite him.
