On Monday, 14 FEB 22, on the 86th EPISODE, of New Paradigms with Sargis Sangari, Chuck Holton, Freelance War Correspondent, author, and the host of “The Hot Zone w/Chuck Holton” joins me from Ukraine to discusses the #Ukraine Crisis looking at whether the crisis is empowering #NATO or saving the European Union (#EU).

Will sanctions work against #Russia when they haven’t worked in over 40 years against #Iran?

What is #Putin‘s end goal in saber-rattling?

Is #HybridWar already on the way in Ukraine?

What are the #Ukrainians doing in response?

Why does the #Ukrainian President, Volodymyr #Zelenskyy, believe that the pronouncements by the #Biden administration are fanning the flames of panic instead of calmly assisting Ukraine directly.

As President Zelenskyy states, “What we don’t need is panic.” as he counters the U.S. assessment of the situation. #Russia is not innocent either, as Russian expansionism across the region pits it against both #Europe and #Turkey.

Putin is not afraid of the Biden administration, and time will tell what Russia’s real intent is for Ukraine.

Finally, why isn’t anyone looking at the effects of this crisis on the Chines Communist Party (#CCP) expansion over the next decade? Is it possible that an unannounced alliance is developing between Putin and the rest of Europe against the CCP incursions in the Southern Caucasus and EU?
