Ukraine: What you need to know
I wanted to bring you a more in-depth coverage of Ukraine above and beyond the shallow and repetitious coverage in the mainstream media.
Are we heading to another war? Is Putin repeating European history that could lead us into another world war? I don’t know. As citizens, it is in our interest to hear all sides of the debate.
I wanted to bring you more in-depth coverage of Ukraine above and beyond the shallow and repetitious scope in the mainstream media. In the last week, I interviewed several people about Ukraine. Please make sure to share this email so that everyone can understand the Ukraine issue.

Norman Solomon discusses America’s misguided Russia/Ukraine policy that all should heed.
Norman Solomon discusses his article “U.S. hypocrisy on Ukraine paralyzes media, Congress – and even progressive Democrats.”
