Lyle Goldstein, author of Meeting China Halfway: How to Defuse the Emerging US-China Rivalry, and director of Asian engagement at Defense Priorities, breaks down the fragile dynamics in Russia over the Ukraine issue, and blames in part, NATO expansion and Washington rhetoric for pushing the boundaries and putting Ukraine itself in "the crosshairs." What would happen if Russia invaded? Goldstein warns the West needs to be careful what it wishes for. In the first segment, Kelley and Dan talk about this week's Democracy Summit and the hypocrisies borne out of the Biden Administration deciding who is "in" and who is "out" of Washington's warm embrace for the two-day confab.
