Ukrainian President Zelensky addressed both houses of Congress and called for a dramatic escalation

of the war in Ukraine.

We need a new system.

We need a new society.

We need to demand that which may have sounded impossible even a few weeks ago, but is not

only realizable, but an imperative necessity. I'm Welcome to this week's episode of the Real Story on the Socialist program.

I'm your host, Brian Becker.

Today we'll be talking again with Eugene per year. Eugene

is an author. He's an activist. He's the host of the daily podcast, The Punch Out. He also

co-hosts with Rania Collick, the Freedom Side Live, a live video show every Thursday from 3 to 5

p.m. Eastern on Breakthrough News. Eugene, welcome back. Thank you so much for having me.

This is our, I think it's our sixth show about Ukraine. We've been following this crisis as it's

unfolded. And I think that we have really done an important job at trying to give the people in the United

States especially, but people everywhere who might be relying otherwise on mainstream corporate

own media, a way to really have an understanding of why this crisis is happening outside of

the superficial but very effective demonization of Russia or whoever is America's adversary at a

particular moment. And of course, as I mentioned in the beginning, Zelensky spoke before both

houses of Congress. It was really quite something. He basically chastising the U.S. government,

the Biden administration, for not doing more, not setting up and he demanded or called for a no-fly

zone, which would require the United States to actually go to war against Russia, the other

second biggest nuclear power in the world. And he did this on national TV

before both houses of Congress. And it just made me think, Eugene, you know, how will this war end?
