Dwarkesh Podcast · Sarah Paine — How Russia sabotaged China's rise · 31 Oct 2025 podcast

So it's interesting to see, like, oh, it kind of makes sense why he thought it would work.

Because otherwise, his failure to anticipate Operation Barbarossa.

So, you know, when he's getting information that the Germans are lining up millions of men along this huge border, he's like, this is British disinformation.

And he uses the exact same logic, right?

when Japan is invading Manchuria, that like the idea that we had to fight Japan is British information, disinformation, sorry.

So even though obviously it was a mistake, it helps us understand why he thought this way.

An interesting connection to make between World War II and this Russo-Chinese relationship is that the way that we used Russia as basically this, um, reservoir of, uh, uh,

of military men that we can just like ship ship armaments to and they can do the dying for us is similar to how russia uses china in the war against japan is that well they're not actually during that war shipping that much to china but no yeah korean war yeah so there's this interestingly russia is doing to them the the kind of alliance that we had with russia during world war ii

Great note to close on.

Be kind to each other.

Yes.

Well, it is a good callback because I've been asking you all these naive questions and you've been very kind to not humiliate me.

Thank you all very much for coming.

It is so fun to be able to do these things with a live audience and not trapped inside a dark studio room.

I hope we see you guys again on Friday when we're doing the lecture on

the proper way to do war termination.

And then next Tuesday, which is about why Russia lost the Cold War.

See you on Friday.

Thank you, Sarah.

Hey, everybody.
