Part 4/10:
As the podcast transitioned to the issue of deterrence within NATO, McBeth reiterated his concern about the foreign policy coherence of the current U.S. administration. He expressed uncertainty about the underlying motivations driving the administration's approach to Russia and Ukraine, given the urgent need to establish clear strategies and objectives.
The conversation took a notable turn towards the potential presence of European troops in Ukraine. McBeth argued that deploying troops from countries like France, Poland, or Spain could be beneficial for Ukraine, but acknowledged the fears surrounding potential casualties. He voiced a grim view of Russia's intentions, suggesting that any peace proposals from their side could be deceptive and merely tactical maneuvers.
