Russia is not sparing anyone. Putin is proceeding to murder innocent children while the world watches.<\/p>\n<p>This is why veterans recently started <a href=\"https:\/\/americanveteransforukraine.org\/\">American Veterans for Ukraine<\/a> and it\u2019s why so many other people have felt the call to serve. And it\u2019s why we\u2019re not going to look away on this show. We\u2019re not going to stop covering this terrible conflict, until Ukraine achieves victory.<\/p>\n<p>Tim Mak (<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/timkmak\">@timkmak<\/a>) is a leader dedicated to that victory. Tim is founder and editor of <a href=\"https:\/\/counteroffensive.substack.com\/\">The Counteroffensive<\/a>. Follow them now. He\u2019s an independent, investigative journalist with a background in politics, national security, and emergency medicine. He was there in Kyiv as the attacks unfolded. He rushed to the hospital to report on the carnage. And he joins us between power outages from Ukraine now. After this week\u2019s deadly attack, he\u2019s the perfect independent voice to hear from.<\/p>\n<p>And our host Paul Rieckhoff tears into the collapse of support for Joe Biden, why the most recent politicians to abandon Biden are so important, the squishiness from the White House on Ukraine, why Jim Mattis is back in the news, why American Generals have so often been President, JFK Jr\u2019s latest conspiracy theory pushing (and snake catching!), why LeBron is what American politics should be, and why the Olympics are so important to America (and Americans) right now.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Every episode of <em>Independent Americans<\/em> is independent light to contrast the heat of other politics and news shows. It\u2019s content for the 51% of Americans that now call themselves independent. Always with a unique focus on national security, foreign affairs and military and vets issues.
