Lee Slusher has over 25 years of experience in the US Army and intelligence community and he is not pleased with US foreign policy at the moment. Particularly as it pertains to the war in Ukraine and increased posturing around Taiwan. Lee joins TFTC to explain why the war in Ukraine is unwinnable for Ukraine and the West, how far off base foreign policy has become in the US, how that is making us weak in the eyes of the international community, and what needs to be done to get back on the right course.
