Matthew Hoh came back to the show for the 7th time, this time for a conversation about Ukraine. We discuss what other potential options Russia had, other than invading Russia. Matt lays out the alternative options, while I play devils advocate. We also discuss further western support for Ukraine, where the war may lead, the western curbing of peace talks and briefly Israel.

Bennett Speaks Out 2:40 0nwards (turn on transcript and use control f)
"Everyone in the West told me we do not have any chance of NATO EU membership, I asked them not to try the Ukrainian people into a corner, because our people are brave and the West should also be brave in telling directly to the Ukrainian people, that well you are not going to be NATO EU member. They did not have a consolidated position and I requested this personally. I requested them personally to try to say directly that we are going to accept you into NATO or NATO in a year or two or five. Just say it directly and clearly or just say no. And the response was very clear. You're not going to be a NATO EU member, but publicly the doors will remain open" On GPS: Could Ukraine have averted war by abandoning its NATO quest?
