David Rutherford Show: Live From Ukraine - American Intel Officer Reveals The Ground Truth - The Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show

📍America hears headlines. He hears explosions. Today, David speaks with Steven Al Ebadi (Alladdin1983) — a former U.S. intelligence officer reporting from inside Ukraine, days away from drone strikes, surrounded by civilians who refuse to surrender.

Stephen shares:

• Why he flew to Ukraine with no job & no safety net

• The real morale of Ukrainian civilians

• What weapons arrived broken — and what worked

• Why identity, faith, and national pride fuel the resistance

• Russian & North Korean troop presence

• Whether peace is even possible

• The story the mainstream won’t touch — life under daily attack
