Summary

Russia did the unthinkable this week by invading Ukraine; creating the gravest crisis in Europe since the second world war. The GOP wants you to believe it happened because Joe Biden is weak. The reality is far more complicated and has more to do with decades of Russian anger over a 1990 promise from Germany. Then there’s the Trump factor. The former president and now the GOP keeps pushing Putin’s propaganda. Later, Nandini Jammi joins Mea Culpa to discuss the disinformation economy and how this stuff gets monetized across the right wing media machine.
