#64 | The Mariner Podcast | News & Views | European Geopolitical Boundaries & The Monroe Doctrine

Another discussion about the situation in Ukraine- this time focusing on exactly why Russia would choose to launch an attack against the Ukraine at this moment in time and examining how the actions of NATO & the US might be interpreted by a Cold War agent like Putin. 

I believe that by seeking truth and validating nuance on both sides of the equation, peace can be restored once again in the Ukraine.  I want to underline that I am absolutely against the actions the Russian military are taking in Ukraine and it is my heart felt hope that diplomacy and understanding will prevail as soon as possible.

I applaud Ukraine's recent decision to seek neutrality rather than membership of NATO. From my research and understanding this is the only path to peace in the short term.
