It's an unfortunate reality but its true: the primary obstacle in US politics today to supporting Ukraine comes from the Republican Party. It's been strange to see the party of Reagan hesitant to stand up to Russia and support a democratic ally in its quest for freedom.

Why is that?
And ultimately should the US support Ukraine?

To answer these questions, I had on the show Larry Provost, a conservative columnist, Republican, US veteran, Trump supporter AND major supporter of Ukraine.

Hear not only all the reasons why the US should support Ukraine, but also why he believes Trump, his administration, and much of the right in the US have been hesitant to support Ukraine to date. Listen in also to hear why Provost is optimistic that the Trump administration will be more supportive going forward.
