Thsnk you robert and brendan for your great efforts in giving us this gifted conversation and moments. Robert i wish more people would interview you more.
Read the 33 strategies a few times. Love all his books but this one is close to falling apart from note scribbling, highlighting, and being repeatedly handled. I always feel like I have a one step advantage in life learning through history. Robert Greene is always my go to.
Thank you so much for bringing us Robert Greene! I have several of his books that Have taught me so much and I share his seminal work with students really loved this interview and hearing the insights applied to Ukraine.
Tanks are FAR from being obsolete, it just happens that Russian tanks aren't that great and their tactics really suck. All the new tanks designs coming out have APS built in, Active Protection Systems, that use a combination of soft kill and hard kill options to defeat ATGMs, one is supposedly able to hard kill top attack missiles like the Javelin.

As the sanctions back fire to the west - there will be a vast increase in forces of total destruction with the delusion to end the conflict - which is impossible.

This is a bit inaccurate as he is describing the first phase of the battle. The 2nd phase of the battle has already begun, and the dynamics right now are very different.
It’s my favorite book. Jesus, I am so grateful that I figure out Robert Greene 4 years ago. The law 4 about burn the ships that Hernán Cortez did was the same than I did when I came to USA with just $1k and without English. The creativity to find ways to go out from that position was amazing. Napoleon is my favorite person from the history. The way how he prepared himself and studied the enemies was amazing. Thank you again for this interview. I didn’t read the Mastery yet, but your video help to understand the message. 🫡
