The War in Ukraine

Currently Playing: Political Earthquake in Munich: The US, EU Clash Over Values and Policy

Here I focus on the dramatic events at the Munich Security Conference in Munich. Vice President Vance's speech shook up EU leaders to the core: What is the value of religious freedom, of free speech, of democracy? Zelensky cares about his popularity rather than Ukrainian borders. Putin is the enemy for German foreign minister. These are some of crucial takeaways from the Conference. Here I attempt to interpret and explain these momentous words and decisions.
