I agree with some other listeners that this was a somewhat disappointing episode. Kudos to Matt for admitting he was wrong but like another listener has said there are others out there with more informed and interesting things to say about Ukraine. Michael Weiss was a great suggestion. Michael Kofman, Dmitri Alperovitch and Rob Lee would also be interesting guests if you wanted a more in depth analysis of the war and Russia's reasons for waging it.
Also Peter Zeihan might make for an interesting interview. His predictions, particularly those on Russia, have largely been accurate. His emphasis on demographics as drivers for countries foreign policies is something rarely discussed outside the world of geopolitical analysis. I think that you could have a very interesting conversation with him.

Agreed, invite Peter Zeihan.
