What About Ukraine and Its Mobilization?

Transitioning from the 55% of males who don't have a podcast to the 45% who do

Sat down for another conversation with Rolo and Edward, aka “the Worst Team”.

Touched on:

Ukraine’s mobilization levels, societal contradictions, Russia’s post-Kerch strikes, how it started & how it’s going.

I’m the guy with the accent.

Recorded on October 13.

One thing that we touched on is that Ukraine — albeit much more mobilized relative to Russia — is in historical terms also still greatly under-mobilized for a state in its position.

The way it is still mostly on a peace footing (especially its industry), allowing the vast majority to live as if it wasn’t facing partition begs at least two questions:

  • Does Ukraine have the will to live and to survive?

  • Does Putin get any credit for Kiev’s undermobilization?

This is something that I will have to talk about more in the future.
