Episode notes
Trump As Deal-Maker, Not Puppet
- Donald Trump functions as a dealmaker who brings parties together even when outcomes are uncertain.
- Andrew Klavan argues Trump’s negotiating style produced the first movement toward talks on Ukraine peace and European involvement.
Limits Of NATO Guarantees
- NATO-style security guarantees to Ukraine are unrealistic and risk drawing the U.S. into a wider war.
- Klavan emphasizes Europe must bear primary responsibility because Ukraine is primarily their conflict.
Seek Primary Sources, Not Headlines
- Ignore the corrupt, noisy 24/7 press and seek primary information sources.
- Build and rely on alternative reporting to expose mainstream media spin, Klavan urges.
