Putin past the point of no return
The West is already at war with Russia. NATO boots may not be on the ground, but the US and its allies are helping Ukraine with arms and cash, and by upping the pressure on Moscow with tough sanctions. Vladimir Putin knows this, but he's fighting a 20th-century war in 2022 — and losing on global PR and social media. One country watching very closely is Finland. Ian Bremmer talks to former Finnish PM Alexander Stubb, who explains why his country has gone from longtime neutral actor to NATO hopeful.
Europe's new "Iron Lady" Kaja Kallas
Kaja Kallas became Estonia’s first female Prime Minister in 2021 and has been one of the strongest voices in Europe condemning Vladimir Putin and Russian aggression. She's also been one of Ukrainian President Zelensky's staunchest supporters. "The war is going much better than we thought a year ago," she tells Ian Bremmer in a GZERO World interview at the annual Munich Security Conference in Germany.
Russia's tragic brutality and the humbling of the West
We returned to Davos for the World Economic Forum's annual meeting. The 2023 WEF is all about "polycrisis," which, in WEF-speak, means many crises simultaneously that compound each other like tangled knots. But how do you untangle those knots? That's a question that the world's business and political elite is struggling with a time when the globalization they adore is being questioned by the developing world.
RT @gzeromedia: In March, @alexstubb worried about war fatigue
Not anymore...Putin is ensuring that isn't a problem "in a tragic, brutal way by committing war crimes against civilians"

Putin’s war crimes solidify West’s military support for Ukraine
For former Finnish Prime Minister Alexander Stubb, there is no such thing as a partial victory for the Ukrainians. “Ukraine needs to push as far as it possibly can,” Stubb tells Ian Bremmer on the sidelines of the World Economic Forum in Davos.
RT @gzeromedia: "Never underestimate the capacity of Russia to cause havoc," says @alexstubb
Finland shares a 1,340 km border with Russia. It maintains one of Europe's largest standing armies "not exactly because we wanna defend ourselves against Sweden"

RT @gzeromedia: In March, @alexstubb told #GZEROWorld that Putin has 3 goals, & will fail in all of them:
- Annex Ukraine
- Push back NATO's borders
- Prevent Finland & Sweden from joining NATO
Proving to be an apt prediction
