The Russia-Ukraine War & The Power Dynamics In this episode of 'Ideas Have Consequences,' Larry Alex Taunton delves into the dynamics and history leading up to the Russia-Ukraine War. He begins with a commentary on the viral video of football coach Bill Belichick and his girlfriend, offering a biblical perspective on the power dynamics between men and women. Larry transitions to discussing the collapse of the Berlin Wall, the fall of the Soviet Union, and the euphoria of the early post-Cold War era. He examines the West's naive optimism about Russia's transition to democracy and how it led to disillusionment and the rise of Vladimir Putin. By understanding the Russian perspective and historical context, Larry lays the groundwork for future discussions on the complexities of the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine.
