George Packer: Sacks Frames Ukraine War in Terms of Risk and Strategic Cost Rather Than Sovereignty

PACKER: “He has. And for a long time I couldn’t understand how someone who really does seem to care about facts and about logic and is a very good debater on his podcast, could end up sympathetic to the Russian role in invading Ukraine and trying to destroy that country and absorb it into the Russian empire. To be charitable, he’s he’s pretty ignorant about the history of that region and the politics of that region. But the way I came to see it was of a piece with his approach to to business, which is essentially there’s no moral calculation here. It’s not about whether Ukraine has the right to sovereignty, whether we should support a democratic country under siege from an authoritarian empire."
