Why a Ukrainian Victory Is No Longer Unthinkable - Max Boot - America at a Crossroads



In this in-depth interview, military historian and journalist Max Boot breaks down why Ukraine may actually be winning its war against Russia — and what that means for the future of the conflict. From the explosion of Ukrainian drone production to the surprising effectiveness of battlefield innovation, Boot outlines the factors that are reshaping expectations for the war.

Boot also assesses Russia’s faltering offensive, Putin’s strategic miscalculations, and how Ukraine’s resilience is frustrating the Kremlin’s ambitions. While recent U.S. policy shifts—including from former President Trump—are discussed, the real story, according to Boot, is Ukraine’s ability to adapt, survive, and possibly turn the tide. - 07/19/2025.
