Economic historian Chris Miller helps Rep. Crenshaw deconstruct all the major arguments against American involvement in the Russia-Ukraine War. Didn\u2019t NATO provoke Russia into war? What difference does it make to Americans what happens in Ukraine or the rest of Europe? Wouldn\u2019t Putin stop once he has Ukraine? Aren\u2019t we at risk of Russia using tactical nukes? Isn\u2019t Putin just a wise Christian man who\u2019s deeply concerned about woke ideology infecting western civilization?
