What the hell happened (again)? Putin intervenes, gets Trump back on his side?

China and the War in Ukraine: How will China's role evolve now that Trump is targeting Beijing?

Should the US support Ukraine? Hear the answer from a veteran, a conservative, and Trump supporter
It's an unfortunate reality but its true: the primary obstacle in US politics today to supporting Ukraine comes from the Republican Party. It's been strange to see the party of Reagan hesitant to stand up to Russia and support a democratic ally in its quest for freedom. Why is that? And ultimately should the US support Ukraine? To answer these questions, I had on the show Larry Provost, a conservative columnist, Republican, US veteran, Trump supporter AND major supporter of Ukraine.&n...

We've hit the inflection point: Trump has to make a decision on Ukraine. So now what happens?
We've hit an inflection point in the so-called ceasefire talks: What will Trump do? "Walk away" as he has threatened, continue to provide some support to Ukraine, or even "arm Ukraine to the teeth" as he and others in his team have likewise threatened. Now that he has expressed some level of anger towards Putin just in the last few weeks, should we be more optimistic? Tune in to find out. We will know soon enough, but I figured it was time to give an overview of where we are, what I expect to...
