We are deeply disturbed by the events in Ukraine, which have once again turned Eastern Europe into a theater of deadly war. We are heartbroken to see brotherly nations killing each other again, as they did in the Balkans in the early 1990s. The hosts of “On the Barricades” have recorded this special edition of the program to analyze the current military and political circumstances that the public is being informed about, as well as to attempt to make sense of the often contradictory, if not entirely exclusive, statements made by multiple outlets on both sides of this conflict.
Maria Cernat and Boyan Stanislavski also discuss the current wave of extremely unhinged emotional upheaval, as well as the emotional derangement in public opinion, in which everyone appears to be suddenly OK with more war, and even demand it.
