Summary

In a special double-header episode, Rick Wilson sits down with Alexander Vindman and Kenneth Harbaugh to discuss everything "Ukraine." Given Trump's unbelievable utter disrespect toward Zelensky and Ukraine during his recent Oval Office meeting and Trump's ongoing salivation over his man-crush and wannabe penpal Putin, this episode features THE experts who understand the lay of the land in Ukraine -- and, more importantly, where to go from here -- better than anyone else. RUN to go and purchase Alexander Vindman's new book, The Folly of Realism: How the West Deceived Itself About Russia and Betrayed Ukraine, here: https://www.amazon.com/Folly-Realism-Deceived-Betrayed-Ukraine/dp/1541705041 -- it is F*CKING brilliant and couldn't be more topical. ...Then drop everything and check out Kenneth Harbaugh's badass organization, VALOR MEDIA NETWORK, at https://valormedianetwork.com/.
