Former CIA Specialist on Russian Invasion of Ukraine
Manage episode 321210603 series 3314152
So many questions now that Russia has invaded Ukraine. Today I talked to a former CIA and NATO specialist who's from Henryetta, Oklahoma. Brad Sellers is an expert on Russia and terrorism.
We talked about what Putin wants in Ukraine and how big a deal the invasion is for the rest of the world, especially the U.S.
But our conversation really gets interesting when I asked him why this is happening during Biden's presidency and not when Trump was in office.
I also asked Sellers what did Putin mean when he warned other countries not to interfere or else it would lead to "consequences you have never seen."
Sellers believes what we're seeing from Russia is the hard-line of the old Soviet Union, of which Putin is a part of, versus the new Russia, made up of those born after the fall of the Soviet Union.
