Welcome to another episode of Headlines and History with Jon Molik. This week LTC Lisa Bennet joins us--again--for a conversation spanning a wide range of topics that includes Russia, NATO, Ukraine, Putin, Zelensky, and Trump. Lisa is an Army intelligence veteran with nearly 30 years' experience that includes numerous deployments overseas. She spent approximately three years with United States Army Europe and Africa (USAREUR-AF) and leans on that experience to educate us on the Ukraine-Russia war, European geopolitics, and what the upcoming U.S. presidential term may mean for the war. Thanks for joining Lisa and me this week and enjoy the episode!
