NATO’s Wesley Clark: What People Keep Getting Wrong About Putin

Why is Russia so fundamentally different from Ukraine and its neighbours — even when the cultures seem so intertwined? In this excerpt, Pyotr Kurzin sits down with former NATO Supreme Commander General Wesley Clark, to unpack the deep historical roots of Russian imperial psychology — from Lenin's Communist International to today's mafia petro-state. We explore why Moscow has always seen itself as the centre, why Ukraine was simultaneously exploited and looked down upon, and what all of this tells us about Putin's motivations in the 21st century.

Description

I’m Pyotr Kurzin, host of The Global Gambit. I’ve spent years working across Africa and Eastern Europe with the World Bank and the International Crisis Group, and trained in strategic studies and economic statecraft at Johns Hopkins SAIS. This isn’t second-hand commentary — it’s first-hand field and policy experience brought straight to you. Everyone has biases — but the only way to really grow is to test them, step out of our comfort zones, and avoid echo chambers. That’s exactly what this channel is for. Pyotr prides himself in engaging all sides.
