The segment features a discussion about the Russia-Ukraine war between Jimmy and former CIA analyst Larry Johnson in which Johnson argues that Russia is economically stable, increasingly militarily dominant, and that Ukrainian forces are approaching collapse. He claims NATO has fallen far behind Russia in artillery production and hypersonic missile capabilities, while also alleging that U.S. defense spending and political corruption are major reasons the war continues. Johnson further argues that Russia is economically strangling Ukraine by restricting access to Black Sea ports while targeting infrastructure, logistics centers, military headquarters, and energy facilities, and claims that Ukraine is suffering from severe manpower and supply shortages. He predicts that Ukraine’s military machine could implode within six months and suggests that growing public opposition could eventually lead to the overthrow of President Volodymyr Zelensky, while the conversation also raises the risks of escalation involving NATO and Russia.
