E29 - Standing with Ukraine: Guest Nathan Bryson

Ukraine and Russia have been at war for several years now. Despite international pressure, neither side seems willing to back down. Death toll has continued to rise, as well as the number of people who have become refugees. As the world watches, it is important to remember that people are suffering on the ground. With no end in sight, wives continue to lose their husbands, children are separated from their parents, and more people suffer the consequences of the war.In today's episode, Jim and Dan are joined by Nathan Bryson, a former active-duty United States Marine. Nathan will talk about his journey to Ukraine, what the real picture of the situation there is, and several other stories he had along the way.Enjoy!In This Episode02:09 - Backstory of Nathan Bryson11:48 - Nathan's mission in going to Ukraine17:44 - What prompted Nathan to deliver supplies to Ukraine20:50 - The real picture of the situation in Ukraine25:44 - His journey to the Ukrainian territory35:54 - What makes the war more like air combat than ground combat46:12 - What made Nathan return to the U.S.51:00 - What was their daily diet like in UkraineFavorite Quote00:42 - "There's a whole lot of people, I drive around and they say, I stand with Ukraine and they have the flags up in their front yard, right. Or on their Twitter profile. Yeah, right. I stand with Ukraine and they got their profile pic, they got their banner. And I'm like, what did you ever do for Ukraine? I mean, does Ukraine get something for every profile picture that has the banner around it? They definitely don't get an invite to NATO." - Jim Larkin and Dan Wilkinson Jr.Follow the Pod Bless America Podcast on GETTREngage with Pod Bless America PodcastEmail: [email protected]: [email protected] to more episodes of the Pod Bless America PodcastApple PodcastsSpotifyGoogle Podcasts
