Is Russia a “Realist” Power?

On this episode of Radio Rothbard, Ryan McMaken and Tho Bishop are joined by Zachary Yost to discuss a new book, *The Source of Russian Aggression* by Sumantra Maitra. The three talk about the theory of international realism, its application to the military actions of the Russian state in Ukraine and Georgia, and what it means for better understanding foreign policy broadly. *The Sources of Russian Aggression: Is Russia a Realist Power?* by Sumantra Maitra (PDF): https://Mises.org/MaitraBook "Review: The Sources of Russian Aggression" by Ryan McMaken: https://Mises.org/mises-wire/review-sources-russian-aggression Donate $25 or more today and receive our December Bundle Special: https://Mises.org/RadioRothbard24 *The World at War* by Ralph Raico: https://Mises.org/RaicoWar Get your “Murray Christmas” Ugly Christmas Sweater: https://Mises.org/Ugly Be sure to follow Radio Rothbard at https://Mises.org/RadioRothbard Radio Rothbard mugs are available at the Mises Store.
