It is critical for leaders to stay informed about current events. Even, when it feels like what is happening halfway around the globe has no impact on us.
Because, what is happening thousands of miles away DOES and WILL have an effect on us.
And, we can always learn from other leaders - good and bad.
Jeff was recently interviewed by the Strategic Studies Institute regarding Vladimir Putin choosing a path of escalation in his unnecessary war of aggression agains the Ukraine.
The interview is based on an article Jeff wrote in the US Army War College Quarterly publication, Parameters. We've included links to both the article and podcast below.
It is imperative Western policymakers know the consequences and how he might escalate further.
In this podcast Jeff examines recent events on the battlefield; the implications of the announced annexation of territory, mobilization of forces, and threats to employ “all means” to defend Russian territory.
Jeff also discusses the domestic ramifications and Russian thinking on “hybrid warfare” and the possible weaponization of food and energy as Putin determines future escalatory steps.
SSI's goal with this podcast is to assist American and European leaders in determining policies to deal with the ongoing crisis at this moment and prepare for an uncertain future.
We believe that our Diamond6 leadership circle can also greatly benefit from what Jeff shares in this interview.
