John Heilemann and John Avlon discuss the enormous humanitarian and geopolitical stakes of the crisis in Ukraine. They question whether President Biden is right to predict that President Vladimir Putin’s invasion will leave “Russia weaker and the rest of the world stronger,” and how Russia’s invasion could alter the global fight between tyranny and freedom and the recent decline in democracy around the world. They also consider how much further Putin is willing to escalate, namely whether he would turn to chemical, biological, or nuclear weapons.
