LGM Podcast: Weaponizing InterdepenDANCE

February 19, 2025


I had the opportunity to sit down yesterday with my colleagues Geoff Williams and Charles Dainoff to talk about the financial aspects of the Russia-Ukraine War. As some may recall we were writing a book on financial conflict when the war started, a book that now happens to be available in paperback. Here’s what we talked about:




  • What did we expect from the war and what didn’t we expect?

  • How have sanctions hurt russia?

  • The Russian mafia state and its implications for financial shenanigans

  • How have sanctions helped Ukraine?

  • The Weaponized InterdepenDANCE

  • Sanctions, coercion, and negotiation

  • The bureaucracy of sanctions and Elon’s purge

  • What to do with Russian assets abroad


There’s a lot here and I’m proud of how it turned out, so give a listen. Transcript is here.
