Guests:
Elijah Magnier - Veteran War Correspondent | So-Called Journalists Pressure US For No-Fly Zone
Nicolai - Independent journalist | Neo-Fascist Azov Battalion’s Role in Ukraine’s Military
Peter Kuznick - Professor | Did Putin Misplay His Hand in Bid to Enforce Security Demands?
In the first hour, Elijah Magnier joined the show to talk about the historical context of the Russia-Ukraine conflict including Ukraine’s operations in Donbas and so-called journalists putting pressure on the State Dept. for a no-fly zone over Ukraine.
In the second hour, Fault Lines was joined by Nicolai for a discussion about his experience as a journalist reporting on the Donbas region in 2014 and the role the neo-fascist militia Azov Battalion plays in Ukraine’s military operations.
In the third hour, Peter Kuznick joined the conversation to talk about the history of NATO and why Russia feels cheated and threatened by its expansion, if Putin had any other options to enforce its security demands besides initiating a military operation in Ukraine, and Zelensky’s reckless calls for a no-fly zone that would inevitably spark a third World War.
