Description: 
Episode 2210. Putin has ordered Gerasimov to keep the strikes coming after the capture of Dobropillia, putting Kramatorsk and Sloviansk next in line in Donbass. Alex, walking the streets of Athens, breaks down why Trump put Lindsey Graham's bone crushing Russia sanctions on hold, the Patriot interceptor shortage that could last until 2030, and Zelensky's demand in Brussels for 155 billion along with a warning of 20 million refugees heading to Europe. How long can Ursula von der Leyen and the EU keep paying for Project Ukraine?
