The war in Ukraine has now lasted over three years, making it the largest European conflict since World War II. But what’s REALLY happening behind the scenes? Investigative journalist, historian, and Russia expert David Satter joins Dr. Bob to break it all down.
David Satter has spent decades uncovering the truth about Russia, from Soviet communism to Putin’s dictatorship. In this episode, he reveals how Russia uses war as a tool for internal control, why Putin underestimated Ukraine, and what Trump’s shifting stance on Ukraine means for the future of global security.
🚨Why does Russia invade its neighbors?
- War isn't just about expansion for Russia—it’s about keeping Putin in power.
🚨Did the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan embolden Putin?
- Five months after Biden’s disastrous retreat, Russia launched its full-scale invasion. Coincidence?
🚨Trump’s Ukraine stance: Deal-making or betrayal?
- From sanctions on Russia to calling Zelensky a dictator, Trump’s Ukraine policy is shifting fast—but why?
🚨The corruption inside Russia’s military
- Russian leaders were promised a quick victory, but three years later, they’re still stuck in the fight.
🚨Can Ukraine actually win?
- As Russia controls 44,000 square miles of Ukraine, is a full military victory still possible?
🚨What happens if the U.S. stops supporting Ukraine?
- Would Ukraine fall? Would NATO collapse? Could China invade Taiwan next?
