In this episode, we welcome back Dr. Alexander Vindman—retired U.S. Army Lieutenant Colonel and former Director for European Affairs on the White House National Security Council. Known for his key role in the first Trump impeachment and his deep expertise in Eastern European affairs, Vindman returns to discuss his latest book, The Folly of Realism: How the West Deceived Itself About Russia and Betrayed Ukraine. The conversation dives into the geopolitical stakes of the ongoing war in Ukraine, U.S. foreign policy across administrations, and the importance of civic responsibility in the face of authoritarianism. What We Discuss: Why U.S. administrations consistently misunderstood Russia and Ukraine. The concept of “Neo-Idealism” and its value in foreign policy. How family history and personal experience shaped Vindman's worldview. The political realities facing Ukraine and the U.S. in a post-Trump world. The role of values in sustaining democratic institutions. Episode Highlights: [00:01:00] Introduction to Alexander Vindman and his background. [00:04:30] Alex's twin brother Eugene Vindman's transition to Congress and bipartisan cooperation. [00:17:00] Reconnecting with family in Ukraine and the impact of history. [00:25:00] The thousand-year struggle for Ukrainian sovereignty. [00:38:00] Why equating Russia with Cold War power is misguided. [00:44:30] Vindman defines “Neo-Idealism” and its global implications. [01:00:00] The danger of Trumpism and dismantling of democratic norms. [01:07:00] How we can engage across political and cultural divides. Featured Quotes: “Russia, absent Ukraine, ceases to be an empire. With Ukraine, it becomes one.” – Alexander Vindman “Neo-Idealism is about tethering our interests to our values and committing to them over the long term.” – Alexander Vindman “We succumbed to misplaced hopes and fears. We thought if we treated Russia as a partner, it would behave like one.” – Alexander Vindman “You can find common ground by talking about family. That's where our shared concerns lie.” – Alexander Vindman Resources Mentioned: The Folly of Realism – www.hachettebookgroup.com/titles/alexander-vindman/the-folly-of-realism/9781541705043 Alexander Vindman's Substack – www.avindman.com Alexander Vindman on Bluesky - @avindman.bsky.social

After the collapse of the Soviet Union, six US presidential administrations of both parties pursued policies for Russia, Ukraine, and Eurasia that emboldened Russia, playing into its imperialist, centuries-long mythos of regional hegemony. The result: military aggression and full-scale invasion. It was all too foreseeable.In The Folly of Realism, leading national security expert and bestselling author Alexander Vindman argues that America's mistakes in Eastern Europe result from policymakers' fixation on immediate, short-term problem-solving and misplaced hopes and fears. He proposes a new long-term, values-based approach that insists on the fundamentals of liberal democracy and a rules-based world order.Alexander Vindman, lieutenant colonel US Army (retired), was the director for European Affairs on the White House's National Security Council, former Political-Military Affairs Officer for Russia, and diplomat at the American Embassies in Moscow and Kyiv.

From September 21, 2021: A new book by Bob Woodward and Robert Costa contains reporting about several controversial actions by Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Mark Milley in late 2000 and early 2021, regarding conversations with his Chinese counterparts, his discussion with senior military officers about following standard nuclear procedures (if need be), and reaching out to others like the CIA and NSA directors to remind them to watch everything closely. Were each of these reported actions proper for a Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and why? And what about all of this coming out in books?To talk through it all, David Priess sat down with an A-team on civil-military relations. Peter Feaver is a civil-military relations expert at Duke University and director of the Triangle Institute for Security Studies. He served in National Security Council staff positions in both the Bill Clinton and the George W. Bush administrations. Kori Schake is the director of foreign and defense policy at the American Enterprise Institute who has worked in the Joint Staff J5, in the Office of the Secretary of Defense and in the National Security Council's staff, as well as the State Department's policy planning staff during Bush 43's administration. She has also researched and written extensively on civil-military relations. And Alex Vindman is Lawfare's Pritzker Military Fellow and a visiting fellow at Perry World House. His government experience includes multiple U.S. Army assignments, time inside the office of the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and in the National Security Council staff.To receive ad-free podcasts, become a Lawfare Material Supporter at www.patreon.com/lawfare.

Worry not, you can listen to all previously aired shows on CRUSADEchannel.com 15m Gay Frogs & Robert F Kennedy Jr Birth control pills when put into the water system it does actually change the sex of frogs. The science is in and Alex Jones was right! Colorado State is where this was noted. If it does this to the frogs, what does it do to the female body? We should all be asking ourselves why we are allowing this type of ‘medicine' into our daughters and women. Robert F Kennedy Jr sat down w/ Tucker Carlson and discussed regenerative farming, hormones, soil health and much more. 20m Shadow Banning On Social Media  Had this little station that could not have to battle shadow banning, more people would know about all of this.  We discuss this all the time on the Crusade Channel. We started way back when we introduced Free Farm Friday. When people actually hear this information, it resonates w/ the American people.  I think we agree w/ about 40% of what RFK Jr talks about. The other percentage deals w/ social and moral issues. Robert F Kennedy Jr - almost all of Christs parables involve farming or the marriage of the land, the home and at that time the home almost always involved the farm. 23m Butler, PA Assassination Attempt on Donald Trump They didn't have communications. They relied on cellphones. What happens to cellphone service when you get thousands in one location all w/ private cellphones? The local police department offered the Secret Service members hand held radios. They had extra radios charged up and ready to go that morning. We now know the SS turned them down. Why would the SS not understand the overload that would have happened on the cellphone tower load? Why would they solely rely on their private cellphones for communications that day? Why didn't they gather everyone that day that was on duty, put all their body cams into a video multi view monitor, sync them all together w/ the times codes and watch them all. Then you can be a director of a live sporting event. You can look at camera 63 or camera 2 and back them up and review each one all synced up? 6:35am cst SEGMENT 2    Dan Bongino on Trump Attempted Assassination  Susan Crabtree on X: Asked if the security failures of J13 were just incompetence or a result of something more nefarious: @realerikprince says, "If it tips toward malice, then it's a very different can of worms. It's hard to be part of a republic" if the other side is trying to kill you. Counter Sniper Ben Shaffer, who was on the job that day at the Butler rally during the assassination attempt against Trump, is testifying to a panel of House GOP members of Congress at Heritage. He says the local law enforcement offered encrypted radios to the Secret Service, but they were not taken.  Shaffer also said Crooks' use of a rangefinder would have elevated him from a "person of interest" to someone "who would have warranted some type of investigatory detention.”   44m Acting Director Rowe - Letter from Senator Josh Hawley Where is Nancy Pelosi in all of this? Remember in our system Whistle Blowers are sacred and protected. We know Alexander Vindman was the whistle blower then. We now know he was out to get Trump that is why Trump fired him b/c he figured it out. There is a whistle blower here, are they sacred and are they being protected? Do they have extra protection?    55m AUDIO/VIDEO: Dan Bongino Testimony at Heritage Foundation on Assassination Attempt on Trump He makes valid points here in his opening comments.

Alexander Vindman and during her time as a military spouse they lived in twelve homes in four U.S. states, the District of Columbia, and Germany, Ukraine, and Russia. As is typical for military spouses, she worked a variety of jobs from flight attendant to teacher to retail employee always serving in her community as a volunteer wherever she lived. Rachel and Alex experienced infertility and infant loss so she feels it is her responsibility to speak out about the consequences of the assault on women's reproductive rights in addition to sharing her family's story to raise awareness to the dangers of encroaching authoritarianism and extremism.
