Episode notes

What is happening in Ukraine is going to dwarf any domestic incident that I can think of in the annals of human history. When we look back 20, 30 years from now, it's not even be close in terms of what was the more momentous issue. The dispute over abortion is extremely consequential. But a lot of our day to day culture war fights to call them trivial by comparison is to still overstate their importance.

David returns from his recent trip to Kyiv to provide an eyewitness account of the war, including what it is like to survive the terror of a hypersonic missile attack by the Russians. He and Curtis discuss the physical, emotional, and spiritual toll of the war on the Ukrainian people. They explore what lessons we all should take from this ongoing, world changing event.
