Russia and Ukraine Part I

Who are we? Why would you want to listen to us?
This episode introduces your hosts and the reason for the podcast. You've never heard talk about Ukraine or Russia like this before. We may not be foreign policy wonks, but we have information and perspectives you won't hear from the talking heads on prominent news outlets. 

Join us this week as we discuss: 

1. How we felt when Russia invaded communities in which we served as 1990s-era Mormon missionaries. 
2. Is Ukraine Russia? Are there historical justifications for the invasion?
3. What ought to be done? What specific steps would we take if we were in a position of influence to solve this crisis?

As always, the opinions expressed are our own and are subject to change. Our views do not reflect the views of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints or any of its subsidiaries. Everything is unscripted, and we often change our minds while discussing a topic.
