Worth a listen. Starting at 7:30 especially.  (Where I am at time of post). Vindman points out what I have before, that many politicians are risk adverse because of poll numbers and money, and that many do not yet realize we are already in a cold war that is quickly becoming a hot war.

Retired Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman joins Michel Martin today to discuss the current conflict in his homeland of Ukraine and his latest piece in Foreign Affairs Magazine, "America Must Do More to Help Ukraine Fight Russia." Vindman proposes a lend-lease program modeled on the one that provided arms and assistance to U.S. allies in Europe during WWII. He also discusses how Trump and the GOP empowered Putin, and what it is like to be sounding the alarm to no avail.


I think one of his best points is, there's no going back to the way things were after this, ever!
