In this episode, we interview two young men, Graeme and Victor, about their views on the Ukraine Crisis. We decided to interview them as their generation will live with the aftermath of the Ukraine War far longer: Young Americans are the ones who could potentially be drafted if this conflict spreads into a hot war between the US/NATO and Russia; They have far more at stake in the conflict than two guys who are too old to be enlisted or drafted; and while they are our sons and the future generation who will take over when we are gone, it is amazing that nobody ever seems to ask the younger generation to weigh in on foreign conflicts.
Turns out they have a lot to say and are at least as well informed on the matter as the average American whose consent is being manufactured for an escalation in American involvement in Ukraine.
