Summary

Why does Russia find NATO so deeply offensive? Tom Nichols says it comes down to something quite human. NATO represents all of the successes that Russia couldn't quite manage to achieve: "Part of the reason Russians hate NATO is because Russia just doesn't have any friends in the world." Nichols is a professor of national security affairs at the U.S. Naval War College. He'll be back on the show soon to discuss his new book, The Death of Expertise: The Campaign Against Established Knowledge and Why It Matters. In the Spiel, there was some damn fine inquiry on the Senate Intelligence Committee on Thursday. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
