This Place Makes Peace in Ukraine Impossible Right Now (Chatter in the Skull Ep. 18)
27Welcome comrades to my political and current events show. Where we talk about the big issues impacting the world, break them down, and talk about the opposing perspectives.
Today we talk about the war in Ukraine, as we talk some time over the next few episodes to examine some key lessons from the war as it approaches its one year anniversary.
Today we talk about the importance of the Crimean Peninsula to both sides in the conflict, and why peace is impossible until the issue is resolved. One way or another.
