Rational Security: The Mutiny in the Kitchen Edition
This week on Rational Security, Alan, Quinta, and Scott were joined by their colleague and think-tank neighbor, Russia/Ukraine expert Eric Ciaramella, to talk over the week's big news, including:
- \u201cGoing All (Prigozh)in.\u201d Yevgeny Prighozin, leader of the mercenary Wagner Group, went all in this past week, marching his troops into Russia and halfway to Moscow for the stated purpose of removing Russia\u2019s military leadership, only to abruptly halt and accept exile in Belarus instead. What does this mean for the conflict in Ukraine\u2014and future of the Putin regime?
- \u201cLost at Sea.\u201d In a busy week of news, one story has gotten surprisingly little attention: the tragic sinking of an overcrowded smugglers\u2019 boat off the coast of Greece that claimed the lives of hundreds of migrants. What does this incident tell us about the dynamics of the migrant crisis in the Mediterranean\u2014and how the world views it?
- \u201cMoore, Moore, Moore! (How do YOU like it?)\u201d The Supreme Court issued decisions in three major cases this past week, including addressing the much-discussed Independent State Legislature Doctrine in Moore v. Harper. What did the Court decide, and what will these decisions mean?
