History in the Making: The War in UkraineTrump's been in office for a year. Are we any closer to peace?With peace talks ongoing for the past year Trump has been in office, it's worth asking: where are we with the peace process and where will things go from here?We've hit another inflection point it seems. Trump's White House is eager to claim 90% of work is done with the peace talks. The West seems to have largely aligned around their position and the US seems to believe a deal could be coming. However, the experts I spoke with in this episode are far more skeptical. And as am I. Are these talks cr...

Too much has happened and for too long to not do a podcast like this. Most of my adult life I have spent in Europe and so have gained a solid perspective on how Europeans and other non-Americans view the US and how these views have developed. I'm also asked routinely by friends and family back in the US how non-Americans view the US. So in this episode, motivated by Trump's threats to Eu...
2026-01-2229 minHistory in the Making: The War in UkraineNo, the war was not about NATO. This and other myths of the war - a discussion with Dr. Branislav SlantchevWith so much disinformation about the war particularly at this moment, I felt it would be good to do a show on some of these lies. Although I was hoping we could delve into the many myths of this war, we ended up speaking primarily about the central myth of this war: the Russian lie that this is a defensive war in retaliation against the last 30 years of NATO expansion.
