Welcome to the Tudor Dixon podcast.

We are going to be talking all things Russia and Ukraine today because we have a Russian-born

strategic military intelligence analyst with us.

Her name is Rebecca Koffler and she is also the author of Putin's playbook, Russia's

secret plan to defeat America.

Rebecca, thank you so much for joining me.

You've studied Putin. You know what's going on. Are we looking at this escalating to a nuclear level or what is your prediction of what

we see in the next, in the next two months and then once Donald Trump takes office?

I also predicted this in my book, Putin's playbook, Russia's secret plan to defeat America,

which was published in 2021. An update is coming in March 2025. So Russian warfighting strategy,
