Show Notes
When members of the Progressive Caucus released a statement regarding United States involvement in Ukraine, Kimberly St Julian-Varnon, a PhD student in Soviet, Russian, E. European history and presidential fellow in the Department of History at Pennsylvania, had some concerns over some of the talking points. Kimberly St Julian-Varnon is in an expert on the region, and its history, and she wrote an essay, titled "Ice Cream Diplomacy" breaking down familiar rhetoric around the conflict, in particular the administration's response, and corrects frequently repeated fallacies. We discuss her essay, as well as, the history of Russia's aggression towards Ukraine.
