In this episode of Politics in Perspective, Marcia, Jason and Charles discuss the US's current foreign policy toward Ukraine and how historical events from World War II, such as the Munich Agreement and European appeasement strategies, hold lessons for today. The conversation explores parallels between Hitler's actions pre-WWII and Putin's moves in Ukraine, debating whether modern diplomacy with Russia can realistically result in peace. The hosts discuss whether the US should continue support for Ukraine or if isolationism is a viable strategy.
