And more storms are likely to follow. The hurricane is rocking Florida\u2019s Gulf Coast and is causing massive damage. Meanwhile, weeks after Hurricane Fiona, much of Puerto Rico still doesn\u2019t have power. All of Cuba is without power.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And in Ukraine and Russia, the storms are also building. Massive storm clouds of war. And the threat, again, of nukes. And the scariest kind of storm of all. The Russian invasion of Ukraine has stalled out. And we were among the first shows to state that the Russians could lose, that the Bear had no teeth. And that message was echoed by all of our expert guests throughout our coverage of the conflict.

The message was clear. And consistent. Ukraine can win this. But Russia will not go quietly this fall.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And for the Russians that means one thing and one thing only. Winter is coming. And the threat of Putin using nukes is growing. Like your host Paul Rieckhoff (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/PaulRieckhoff\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">@PaulRieckhoff<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">) has said since the beginning, this doesn\u2019t end until Putin is gone. And Putin won\u2019t go easy. So as his mobilization effort pushes his country to the brink of revolution, we have to revisit the greatest threat this situation presents. The nukes. And when it comes to all things nukes, there\u2019s only one guy you want to hear from.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Joe Cirincione (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Cirincione\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">@Cirincione<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">) is back.
