Past the hour mark, but still not finished. One piece of information that I think provides the best explanation for why Russia attacked is first strike capability if Ukraine moved nukes inside their borders. Ukraine has not done that, so the war is still pre-emptive, and therefore wrong, but this being the final straw that triggered Russia to attack definitely makes sense.
What "first-strike capabilities"? Ukraine has given up all their strategic toys back in the 90s. There were 0 first strike capabilities there. As for all the loony talk about "moving nukes inside their borders" - whose nukes are we talking about and who exactly made such plans? And what is so special about Ukraine that nukes must be moved specifically there and not, say, to Estonia?
Ukraine has not done that
The whole grasping for straws in justifying that aggression is an insult to everybody's intelligence. Or, shall I say, to
people who posess one.
so the war is still pre-emptive, and therefore wrong

I'm 45 min into the almost two hour show. Pretty good stuff so far. A lot of big picture analysis, with some interesting personal anecdotes. Definitely worth a watch, but be warned. It won't confirm to any false paradigms, leave those at the door.
