About this episode

Why did Russia invade Ukraine? Why now? What's next? Colonel Jim Hawkins explains the historical motivations and future consequences of Putin's ailing campaign. From the Mongol invasion to the Warsaw Pact, past events have left Russians never wanting to fight a war on their own soil. Will Putin succeed in rebuilding the Soviet Union, or have his miscalculations left him weak and exposed? We cover it all and get to the truth on this episode of Rick & Bubba University.
