What People Get Wrong About Russia | Chris Miller
Economic historian Chris Miller helps Rep. Crenshaw deconstruct all the major arguments against American involvement in the Russia-Ukraine War. Didn’t NATO provoke Russia into war? What difference does it make to Americans what happens in Ukraine or the rest of Europe? Wouldn’t Putin stop once he has Ukraine? Aren’t we at risk of Russia using tactical nukes? Isn’t Putin just a wise Christian man who’s deeply concerned about woke ideology infecting western civilization?
