84 - Is the CSTO Facing Collapse? - a podcast by The Red Line

This year Russia has watched their geopolitical position within the region sink from bad to worse, and now there is a brand new issue facing Moscow, with the Russian version of NATO, the CSTO (Collective Security Treaty Organisation), facing a crisis of confidence. After Azerbaijan called Russia's bluff in the Caucasus, the world now knows the core of the CSTO treaty is worthless. So what happens now, will the organisation disband, will an outside power like China take over the reins, or will it simply continue to evaporate slowly? We ask our panel of experts:

On the panel this week:
- Steven Pifer (Stanford)
- Temur Umarov (Carnegie)
- Raffaello Pantucci (RSIS)
