AIn this exclusive interview with author, Professor of History, and Director of the Nuclear Studies Institute at American University in Washington D.C., Peter Kuznick, we talk about the ongoing impeachment hearings against Trump and also examine the historical context to the crisis in Ukraine. We also discuss why the Democratic and liberal establishment are hailing (or drawing attention to) the significance of whistleblowing for democracy when it comes to the Trump impeachment case, while ignoring, and even undermining, other whistleblowers such as Edward Snowden and Chelsea Manning. Furthermore, we analyse whether providing lethal military aid to Ukraine actually protects the national security of Europe and the U.S., and thereafter touch upon possible solutions to the crisis in Ukraine.
