Summary

I’ll bet this podcast reveals lots of things you didn’t know about Ukraine. According to combat veteran and combat journalist Nolan Peterson: There’s a shooting war going on today between Ukrainians and Russians. Ukraine doesn’t technically rely on US aid, lethal or otherwise, because they make so many of their own weapons. A temporary delay of US aid would have made no difference to Ukraine's day-to-day defenses in terms of weapons at their disposal. The reason Russia says it invaded Ukraine is not the real reason Russia invaded Ukraine. Foreign aid to Ukraine should be conditional and come with expectations. We also talk about the impeachment effort and President Trump's views on Ukraine. Listen to the podcast!. P.S. Check out Nolan Peterson's new book: Why Soldiers Miss War I’ll have an interview with Nolan on an upcoming edition of “Full Measure.” Check us out anytime at www.FullMeasure.news.

0:35.1	going to talk about that. But first I thought we would mention how we met because
0:39.2	you're kind enough to call me to do an interview when I left CBS News.

0:55.4	So we did a little interview and then did a year go by and you contacted me and said I quit my job there's something else I want to do right so I had to desire to become a war correspondent and to help launch that career I started a little a little startup news organization called Blue Force Tracker

1:19.3	conflict around the world and we asked you to contribute to some of our reporting and we did
1:25.4	some great stories and you helped certainly spread the word about what we
