Today, Jason welcomes geopolitical expert Peter Zeihan to the show today to discuss the ongoing war between Russia and Ukraine.

Peter discusses Putin's motivations, Russia's demographics and energy exports and if the response from the West will be enough to stop this conflict. What are the short and long term economic and agricultural implications of the Russian invasion? Peter and Jason discuss Russia's army and nuclear weapons, NATO and America's involvement.

All royalties from Peter's book sales between March 1 – May 31 will go to Ukrainian charities to help with medical needs of the refugees and the people who decided to stay behind. www.Zeihan.com
