Have you ever felt like escaping to your own desert island?

Jane Gaskin did exactly that, trading in the family home to begin a new life in the

tropics.

But she soon discovers that Paradise has its secrets.

I'm Alice Levine, and this is the price of Paradise,

the island dream that ends in kidnap, corruption, and murder. Wish you were here. Follow the price of Paradise Now, wherever

you listen to podcasts. This is John Bachelor, conversation with Katrina Vandenoville, the editorial director and publisher of the

Nation magazine, long familiar with Russian Matters, on the Ukrainian reinforcement flowing from the United States weapon systems.

Katrina, however, makes the accurate remark that these weapons will stabilize a deteriorating condition.

Katrina Vannevovel on Ukraine right now, NATO right now, not a bright future. More of this later tonight.

But I'll end by even, you know, as Ukraine tries to cast the latest round of support is largely helping.

It's really helping as many admit including

Ukrainians to stabilize deteriorating position. So this is what we've talked a lot

about the grimness of a kind of trench warfare.

Now many men, mostly men are trying to escape the fighting, though sadly Ukrainians, you know,

understanding they may have some new weapons are less

frightened or fearful of fighting, but it's a very tough situation, John.

And I would just submit that by maybe focusing more on the Ukraine Recovery Conference, Berlin and June, first week of June might be more valuable, but that is going to be called capitulationist and appeasement.
