Episode notes

Russia is responsible for almost a quarter of global natural gas and oil exports between Ukraine and Russia. For most countries in the world that are not watching CNN or Fox Russia is perhaps more important than the United States from a physical resource standpoint. So I think we have to find a way for Russia to reenter the global ranks of respected nations. We do not have the right to risk nuclear war. Doesn't matter whether Putin is a thug or not. doesn't matter what ideology you believe in. It's utterly irrelevant versus the scale of consequences which most humans are based on our media based on my observation are blind to.

Description

On this Frankly, Nate unpacks his thoughts on the escalating situation between Russia and Ukraine. US and NATO have been cautiously supporting Ukraine, but increasingly crossing more and more lines that had been previously ‘out of bounds’. With the upcoming Defender 23 military exercise on June 12th, NATO is increasingly pushing the boundary of how far it is willing to engage in this conflict. How is the current narrative being put forth by the US Government and media obscuring the public concern towards the risks of World War III and nuclear exchange? How high is the risk of a nuclear first strike - and what are the chances of further escalation after that? What would this mean for humans and the biosphere? In the larger picture of the existence of complex life on Earth, does it really matter who is right?
