From the failures of Ukraine’s counter-offensive to the hidden suffering in Donbass, Miller exposes what mainstream outlets refuse to cover. Could peace talks have ended this war earlier—and is Donald Trump the only leader who might broker a ceasefire?

What if the biggest losers in this war aren’t Russia or Ukraine—but Europe and the West? Miller details how sanctions against Russia backfired, why Ukraine’s military strategy collapsed, and how NATO’s involvement has prolonged the conflict. He shares firsthand accounts from the front lines, exposing the true conditions in Donetsk, Mariupol, and Crimea. As global tensions rise and U.S. support for Ukraine weakens, could this war be leading to an even larger crisis?


This conversation challenges everything you think you know about the Russia-Ukraine war. From the censorship of independent journalists to the real motives behind U.S. foreign policy, we uncover the hidden power players controlling the narrative. Whether you support Ukraine, Russia, or just want the truth, this episode delivers critical insights you won’t hear anywhere else. Should Ukraine negotiate peace or keep fighting?
