Alternative Visions- Ukraine: Political Fallout from Failing Offensive + UAW Strike + Fed Rates & Govt Shutdown


Listen Later

As Ukraine’s Failed Offensive becomes increasingly obvious, political repercussions are being felt in the US, Ukraine and Europe. Half of UN delegates refuse to show up for Zelensky’s speech; 32 House Reps and 6 Republican Senators go on record they won’t support more Ukraine war aid; Zelensky feuds with Poland over grain shipments & Poland’s president says Poland won’t send more weapons to Ukraine; Zelensky gives interview to Economist magazine threatening Europe with angry Ukrainian refugees; Biden tells Zelensky US will send only a few ATACMS missiles and not now.
