Ukraine War, George Ball, and Colin Cowherd (Episode #131, May 1, 2023)

In this episode, I discuss a recent weekend discussion with some friends about the Ukraine War. I was the lone voice relating to my position and I attempt to identify some of their responses to my concerns in previous podcasts. We had a great discussion and we're still friends!!


I'll identify some of the arguments and my counter arguments. And through that discussion, I'll discuss George Ball, the Undersecretary State during the Kennedy and Johnson Administrations. Ball was one of the lone dissenting voices within the Johnson Administration who accurately predicted all of the subsequent problems that actually occurred in US-Vietnam Foreign Policy.


Who will be the next George Ball? And why aren't there more "George Ball" type dissenters in the media?


I also discuss a segment on Colin Cowherd and relate it to Ukraine: "Where Colin was Right and Where Colin was Wrong."


Who's engaging in that exercise within the current Administration?
