What is actually happening with Russia and Ukraine, and why does it matter? Richard Fontaine, CEO of the Center for a New American Security (CNAS), joins us to talk about the facts on the ground and the bigger picture. From the brewing crisis in Eastern Europe to the brews flowing constantly on Downing Street, and from Nazi cats to Stephen Breyer’s vine and fig tree, it’s been a big news week and we're here for it.

Mike's drinking: Steady Eddie IPA from Union Craft Brewing

Erol's drinking: ANXO District Dry Cider
