Author: Semaj McDowell February 25, 2022 Duration: 1:23:35

Russia has initiated the long awaited invasion of Ukraine beginning on Wednesday, February 23rd. Today, the world has bore witness to the mass conventional mobilization and warfare operations of the Russian Federation into Eastern, Northern, and Southern Ukraine. The world continues to bear witness to the brutalities of war in the modern war as this is the current greatest conventional and hybrid warfare crisis post-Cold War. However, this conflict provides crucial insight on how warfare can be conducted moving forward with the utilizing of modern technology and asymmetric DIMEFIL tools to craft strategic spaces and obtain tactical advantages in a given moment.

The George Kennan Roundtable looks to examine these through light banter and very minimal swearing BUT provide crucial geopolitical analysis, military tactic(s) understanding, scenario discussions, and aftermath evaluations.


The Geopolitical Pivot, hosted by Semaj McDowell, is for anyone trying to make sense of the profound shifts reshaping our world. It moves beyond daily headlines to examine the deeper historical currents and strategic decisions that are dismantling the old, American-led order and forging a new, complex, and multi-polar international system. Each episode is a deep dive into the forces-political, economic, and historical-that explain our current moment. You'll hear detailed analysis on how decades of policy and conflict have led us here, and thoughtful exploration of the possible futures that lie ahead. This podcast doesn't offer simple answers but provides the context needed to understand the great transition of our age. It’s an essential guide for parsing the constant flux of global power, asking not just "how did we get here?" but crucially, "where do we go from here?" Tune in for a rigorous, engaging, and necessary conversation about the defining geopolitical journey of the 21st century.
