On this episode of Direct Impact, Rick Sanchez takes a look at the hypocrisy of US lawmakers questioning the Afghanistan withdrawal a few years back while refusing to acknowledge the complete and unmitigated disaster that was the entire Afghanistan War. Meanwhile, Ukraine has suffered staggering losses this year in the conflict with Russia. According to Russian Defense Minister Sergey Shoigu, Ukraine has lost 71,000 soldiers in less than three months. Finally, Rick looks at an amazing soundbite in which an informed journalist takes to task the editor of the New York Times. Join us for a discussion with commentator and political cartoonist Ted Rall and Ukrainian whistleblower and former diplomat Andrii Telizhenko.
