Russia expert Candace Rondeaux and foreign policy guru Daniel Rothenberg join the Think Tank to discuss the fallout from the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
Then, political consultant Chuck Coughlin and Think Tank host Mike O’Neil discuss the implications for our politics:
• What are Russia’s objectives? Could this end with Ukraine, or would success just whet Putin’s appetite?
• Is this just Putin’s war? Or is it the entire Russian establishment?
• Could Putin lose his grip on power if it goes badly for him?
• Putin ordered higher nuclear readiness. What does this mean?
• The Ukraine invasion seems to have pulled the world, and especially NATO countries together; what are the implications of that?
• Could this be a game-changer for President Joe Biden?
• There is nothing like a foreign threat to bring a country together. Could this help resolve our divided national discourse?
The Think Tank airs on KTAR 92.3 FM on Saturday 6-7 p.m. and Sunday 9-10 p.m.
Podcasts are available after broadcast. Older shows are archived at www.mikeoneil.org.
