Special Episode! “What Is Happening in the Ukraine and Why It’s Happening” (as far as I can know)

Listen to this episode from Edge of History on Spotify. I normally avoid a podcast on current events: there is so much even the best cannot know or understand until years have passed. I have been asked about this many times over the last two weeks from those who know I’ve been paying close attention to Putin for twenty years and have European history background. While my knowledge is incomplete, I might have some useful stories for the layperson that is just seeking to understand something about this crisis.
