mussolini, to the president. ruth, thank you so much for joining us.his, let's think of this, worship or this reported death of the russian general, how can that influence putin's next move? >> so, putin is waging war the way he wants to, and there is a real fear that he will escalate to compensate for this embarrassment to the russian military in the face of the world. the longer this goes on, the more russian humiliation on the battlefield, the more his position at home becomes precarious. as a scholar of autocracy, i alwas look at the relation between what goes on when autocrats miscalculate on the battlefield, and their positions at home. so, we could see even if he spinds something as a victory, elites, and of course as military, might be quiet discontented with him. they know better. >> but says that peace talks with ukraine on that and, and moscow's winning the u.s. if consequences should washington continue to weaponize ukraine. you are student of history and autocratic behavior. is that every case in your mind where putin is actually open to d

she is professor of history at new york university, and author of strongmen: mussolini to the presidents resorting to things that he's done before in other places. and this is somebody who just as he doesn't respect the rule of law at home, he has no interest, and in fact, he has scorn for international protocols of diplomacy, rules, there's a reason that russia has had a mafia state. it's a lawless entity. and you know, he has to compensate for deficiencies in conventional warfare's, so he's using these terror tactics. and unfortunately, we shouldn't be surprised if we see him resort also to chemical weapons, because that two he is done. he did it in syria. so russia knew of raging war the way they wage war is full of these were crimes, terror tactics, and you know, where is we see atrocities, putin sees a record of success because as he did this over the years, including in syria, he was able to, you know, to concentrate has power at home. he didn't pay a huge international price. so in his mind, why not continue to do it, especially when conventional warfare is going badly? >> okay.
