Bernie And Sid

Batya Ungar-Sargon, Journalist and Author, calls into the show to talk about the significant developments from the recent summit held on Friday, where President Trump and Vladimir Putin showed willingness to consider security guarantees for Ukraine in exchange for territorial adjustments. Contrary to media reports, Batya emphasizes the importance of Putin's acceptance of Ukraine's security concerns as a major step toward peace. She revisits the dynamics of Ukraine's territorial integrity, Crimea, the Donbas region, and the potential impacts of these negotiations. Both Batya and Sid critique the mainstream media's portrayal of the summit, accuse them of biased reporting, and express skepticism about some European leaders' roles. They debate the capabilities and intentions of Russia and the leadership qualities of both Vladimir Putin and Volodymyr Zelenskyy. The episode touches on the broader implications of US involvement, NATO's role, and geopolitical strategies. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaph
