    396. Jessica Berlin - Policy of Escalation Management has Hurt Ukraine and is Not a Strategy for Victory.

    396. Jessica Berlin - Policy of Escalation Management has Hurt Ukraine and is Not a Strategy for Victory.

    Fears of Russia’s collapse in Biden’s and Scholz’s administrations run
    deep and can't be changed by telling stories of Russian war crimes
    alone. Advisers and analysts have been conditioned by decades of Soviet
    nuclear threat and memory of the chaotic and rapid collapse of the
    Soviet Union in the 1990s. But what can turn politicians that cling to
    security blanket of escalation management, into leaders that imagine a
    Ukrainian victory, a triumph of pluralistic, democratic values, and plan
    accordingly?
    ----------

    Jessica Berlin is an international political analyst, founder of the
    strategy consultancy CoStruct, and Vice Chairman of the Board of
    Directors at the pan-African fintech company Bridge Technologies. She
    has previously lived in Afghanistan, China, Myanmar, Rwanda, the UK, and
    US and worked in security, foreign policy, and economic development.
    Institutions she’s worked with include the US Senate, US Department of
    Defence, and the German development agency. Her commentary has been
    featured on CNN, BBC, DW News, the Washington Post, Le Monde, and many
    others. She is currently a Non-resident Fellow at the think tank CEPA
    and has held past fellowships from the German Marshall Fun, the Robert
    Bosch Foundation, and others.

    394. Stas Olenchenko - Analysing Propagandists that Normalise, Whitewash and Weaponize Russian Narratives

    394. Stas Olenchenko - Analysing Propagandists that Normalise, Whitewash and Weaponize Russian Narratives

    Disinformation continues to be a threat to Ukrainian sovereignty and is
    also targeted at Western democracies and allies of Ukraine. Around the
    world aggressive information warfare threatens information security and
    social stability, especially in states which Russia seeks to destabilise
    or coerce into supporting it. As we saw in the 2016 US elections, it
    can potentially threaten results of voting, place undue influence on
    voters’ decisions and undermine democratic processes. This is more
    important than ever, with a slew of elections in 2024 and the advent of
    exponential AI created fakes.
    ----------

    Stas Olenchenko is a content strategist and writer focused on Ukraine,
    media and tech. He is the writer behind “The Words War” newsletter,
    which focuses on undoing myths about Ukraine.

Amazing perspective

The conversation with Joseph Lindley was terrific. Honest, first-hand knowledge of the situation in Ukraine. Makes me embarrassed for US behavior.
