17 - A Lost War
from The Chris Endrey Podcast Hosted by Chris Endrey
'The First Casualty of War Is Truth'. In the fog of lies that surround the wars of our time, are there critical lessons that we are failing to learn? As the Ukraine-Russia war rolls through its fourth year, its accompanying destruction and misery continue apace. With the biggest players of the international arena dedicating so much time, energy and political capital to the conflict, how is it that drones and bombs are still scarring eastern Europe in 2025? It's easy to reduce conflicts to 'winners' and 'losers', when of course, there are millions who have already lost everything on both sides. Chris reflects upon the lasting damage from a war that could easily have been over in April 2022. Exploring the missed windows for peace only further emphasises what a needless tragedy this war continues to be. Ultimately, by interrogating it honestly, we can better understand and navigate similar situations in the future to prevent such tragedies from repeating.
