A Green Beret’s Warning About Ukraine: We Are Walking Into Another War

from Making the Argument with Nick Freitas · host Nick Freitas

Donald Trump has given Russia and Ukraine a deadline to end the war, and it's approaching fast, as in June… June is when the longest war in Europe since WWII is supposed to end, but neither side seems to be budging. So the question is… how committed is Trump to the deadline, and what options might he consider... diplomatic pressure, economic incentives, military involvement, or something else to try to achieve it?
