Back Story Newsletter
Good morning,
Today I am waiting and watching for Russia to give a serious response to the American positions on NATO and Ukraine and proposals for deescalation. I will write over the weekend or even later today as it develops.
You have to listen to the latest Back Story podcast.
On this Back Story host Dana Lewis who spent 12 years in Russia as a Western TV Correspondent speaks to Ambassador John Bolton, who served as the National Security Advisor to the Trump Admin. and was the U.S. Ambassador to the UN. Bolton was working for Sec. of State James Baker when discussions took place to reunify Germany, and Gorbachev discussed NATO moving East.
And former Russian Prime Minister Mikhail Kasyanov, who worked for President Putin from 2000 to 2004. He thinks Putin is bluffing on Ukraine, and needs to be confronted. Kasyanov was the ultimate Kremlin insider and if you want to understand what Putin really wants this it the interview.
