Proxy War with Russia (Ukraine)
Manage episode 358460279 series 2824538
Almost exactly one year after Russia's invasion of its neighbor Ukraine, Markus and Drew discuss how America came to be involved in this bloody conflict.
Officially involved only from a support standpoint, by providing not only billions of dollars but also an array of sophisticated military hardware. Supplying everything from brand new Abrams tanks to F-16 jet fighters and of course, not to mention, a plethora of unofficial covert agents and operators.
But how did things get to this point?
Is it true when the media says that this war was totally unprovoked? That Putin's invasion of Ukraine was not to disarm the Donbas region of NATO military influence (to protect ethnic Russians who've been steeped in civil conflict since 2014), but was merely a ruse to hide the fact that Putin is actually a madman with aspirations of Soviet style dominance of Europe with an arsenal of nuclear weapons at his disposal?
As usual the truth is rarely so cut and dry. With the media's propaganda machine out in full force to support this war, in addition to the corporate uniparty putting their pretend differences aside temporarily to join hands in unwavering support of provoking a nuclear superpower, we can count on one thing- There will be blood.
Will we avoid all-out war with Russia or has fate set our path without possibility of deviation? Will Drew's prediction of the war's outcome come true? Or will we inevitably be engulfed in World War 3?
You decide?
