The Brookings Institute's Mike O'Hanlon joins the Steve Cochran Show to discuss Vladimir Putin's relationship with China's President Xi Jinping, if we will see more Chinese spy balloons, and when Ukraine and Russia could begin peace negotiations. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

It's been one year since Russia invaded Ukraine. In that time, the United States had an election and the Republicans now calling the shots in the House are the same ones who want us to cut aid drastically if not abandon Ukraine altogether. Between the debt ceiling fight, and regular budget negotiations, Republicans could reduce aid spending by a lot, or they could create a protracted crisis where aid to Ukraine remains in limbo for several weeks or longer. What happens if we cut aid to Ukraine, or worse, while the two countries remain mired in bloody warfare? What might we hope to see happen between now and then on the ground in Ukraine to lower the stakes of a possibly steep reduction in U.S. aid? Could Ukraine conceivably win before that happens? The answer requires knowing the answers to complicated questions about military tactics and logistics. Senior fellow at the Foreign Policy Research Institute Rob Lee joins host Brian Beutler to cut through the jargon, and explain what we can reasonably expect to see happen in the coming crucial months before the U.S. posture towards Ukraine changes.

Editorial cartoonists and best friends Scott Stantis (Right) and Ted Rall (Left) discuss the week's news for their DMZ America podcast, where disagreement and civility go hand in hand. First, Washington floats the idea that Russia might use tactical nuclear weapons and suggests the US might escalate to a "hot" war with Russia. Second, Scott offers a unified theory explaining why Saudi Arabia and OPEC denied Biden's pleas for increased oil production and how this might be an October Surprise. Finally, Afghanistan has collapsed again. Here's why you should care.

Could Ukraine win the war with Russia? For months it looked like Russia was waging – and winning -- a battle of attrition. But last week Ukrainian forces made dramatic gains on the battlefield, retaking vast areas of land, including Ukraine's second largest city. And now some experts say this could be the beginning of a victory for Kyiv. Angela Stent is a longtime Russia analyst and author of “Putin's World: Russia against the West And with the Rest.” She joined Diane to help explain whether this is truly a turning point, what a Ukrainian victory might look like, and what it would mean for the future of Russia and its role in the world.

Ukraine's military has retaken thousands of square kilometres of territory near the north-eastern city of Kharkiv. The Russians are said to have retreated in haste and disarray, but they retaliated by shelling a large power plant, causing blackouts in Kharkiv, the country's second biggest city. Is Ukraine's successful counter-offensive a turning point in the war? Could Ukraine win? Experts say Russia's president, Vladimir Putin, won't countenance defeat, and will escalate instead of retreating or suing for peace. Might Putin launch a tactical nuclear strike? Or use mobilisation or conscription for all-out war?

According to reports, Russian soldiers are scattering from the Kharkiv region and chaotically fleeing upon sighting Ukrainian forces. Could this be a turning point in the war on the European nation?
