- After Russia’s war in Ukraine, Germany announced it is abandoning its pacifism and will double its defense spending and prepare for war. Several European nations are putting themselves on war footing and looking for ways to check Russia’s aggression.
- Why did Russia invade? How important is Ukraine to Vladimir Putin? Ukrainian resistance has been more robust than Putin expected, and it looks like Russia is beginning to employ more extreme and brutal measures to bring Ukraine to heel. How far might Putin go to fulfill his aims?
- The mainstream narrative is that Ukraine fighting Russia is a classic David-and-Goliath story. But the reality is much more complicated when you consider epic-scale corruption among Ukrainian officials, and Obama- and Biden-administration officials’ shady dealings in Ukraine.
- And finally we talk about how world peace will actually come to this war-weary world.
