Lose the war - win the peace? Jacob Shapiro welcomes Jacek Bartosiak of Strategy&Future onto the show to discuss the Russia-Ukraine war and the evolution of the multipolar geopolitical system. Jacek makes his case that a systemic, global war has already begun – and warns the U.S. what will happen if it indulges in hubris and pushes too hard on President Trump’s “America First” rhetoric.

THE SCALABLE WORLD WAR PROJECT. Sanctions Regime Competition&Temptation of a Limited War
The high intensity of geopolitical dynamics requires states to have a sophisticated toolkit of military instruments, including developing paramilitary and proxy military units to conduct a multilayered war. The proxies in Eastern Europe were perfect asymmetric instruments for achieving political and geopolitical goals. Still, often, they were symbols of the crisis of statehood in the countries where they operated or they caused existential threats, as in the case of Poland and Russia.
The invasion of Ukraine became a serious trigger for the development of military writings inside Russia. Since the beginning of the war, many books have been published that describe the Russian military and geopolitical mindset and conduct. These books were often published for propagandist purposes, but the old Western school of Sovietology teaches us that to win over the enemy, we must grasp his way of thinking and find his weaknesses. Without objective analysis of political and military thought, it is easy to fall into imaginary theorisation which does not correspond with reality.

The naval and maritime factor in the Russo-Ukrainian War has a multidimensional expression and it will play a more important role due to the geopolitical and existential importance to Ukraine and Russia of the Black Sea, the Sea of Azov, the Dnieper River and some other big rivers. Neither Ukraine nor Russia is ready to give up their struggle for control over these areas.
