I warmly recommend this podcast from Dan Carlin (A non-partisan historian) about the situation....start listening at 8:15 |
Thanks for posting. This a great backgrounder for those who are not well-versed in the ongoing situation. I think you can go back to that leaked conversation between the US Ambassador to the Ukraine and the Assistant Secretary of State to find the reason for the strong Russian response here.
I've never heard of Dan Carlin before, but just listened to a few of his podcasts and I'm quite impressed. He seems to be one of the few Americans who realizes just how inept the US political system has become, and that neither political party represents the best interests of Americans. Very refreshing!
