Episode 163: PATRIOTism - More Missiles for Ukraine; But is There an Endgame?

Today, Les, Jess, and Jamil discuss the recent headline that the United States is nearing a decision to send PATRIOT air defense missile systems to Ukraine to help counter the barrage of Russian missiles and Iranian-made drones that have been hitting civilian targets and critical infrastructure in Ukraine for months. 


How aggressive should the U.S. be in supplying both offensive and defensive weapons to Ukraine? Will the PATRIOT systems be enough to support the Ukrainians to intercept attacks? Should the Biden Administration ramp up the delivery of U.S. provisions of military capabilities to Ukraine? 


Hear our experts debate these issues and more in our latest episode of Fault Lines!
