The Ukraine-Russia conflict continues with more loss of life. Today we talk with a missionary who is familiar with Eastern Europe, having participated in distribution of Bibles back in the day of the Iron Curtain. He is a student of history and understands the background to Ukraine and Russia. Could this conflict have been avoided? While its easy to comment from afar, we really do believe it was avoidable. What is some of the history of Ukraine? They are not members of NATO, and yet acted like they were. And remember how they were given assurances if they disarmed themselves with respect to nuclear weapons? Their country seems to have been taken advantage of, on many fronts. Yet we hear of corruption too. Russia is showing aggression right now, but what if the shoe were on the other foot? What if a nuclear power were planting missiles on our border? Well, that did happen, back during the Cuban missile crisis in fact. And what did the US do? Its a similar case. Has anyone taken the time to sit down and listen carefully to what Putin said during his televised speech? Yes, he is a KGB guy, and cannot be trusted, but still, we need to listen carefully. Have most of the MSM done due diligence in accurately reporting the Putin/Russian concerns? Has the MSM accurately described the very likely presence of bio labs in Ukraine? What about the influence of the Biden family and the scandal-plagued Ukrainian natural gas company named Burisma? Why do figures like Soros and Klaus Schwab seemingly unconditionally support Ukraine? Is there more to the story? What of the Christians in Ukraine, as well as Russia? Our guest has mission friends in both nations. The situation (as most are), is more highly nuanced and historically connected than our MSM likes to admit. Participants: Dr. Peter Hammond, Dan Elmendorf
