094: Former U.S. Ambassador John Emerson Dissects the Russian Invasion on Ukraine

In the first of a two-part series, Patti welcomes John Emerson, currently the Vice Chair of Capital Group International.  John previously served as the US Ambassador to the Federal Republic of Germany during the Russian Invasion of Crimea in 2014.  Patti invites John to give his unique perspective on the Russian invasion of Ukraine and how it is affecting economies around the world.  Delving into the geography and history of these countries and their political motivations over the centuries helps the listener to understand the actions of NATO and Ukraine today.  Are the sanctions making a difference?  John’s insight into this war is based on decades, if not centuries of conflict – this episode is not to be missed!
