VIDEO with Josh Cowen and Ambassador Bridget Brink
In this episode, former U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine Bridget Brink discusses the recent U.S. strikes on Iran, warning that without a clear strategy the conflict risks becoming a perpetual war and endangers Americans abroad. She recounts her experience reopening the U.S. embassy in Kyiv during Russia's invasion, highlighting the logistical challenges and the importance of supporting Ukraine's sovereignty. Brink then explains why the war in Ukraine matters to the U.S., linking it to NATO security, global deterrence, and the economic ties between Europe and America. Finally, she shares her decision to run for Congress in Michigan, focusing on affordable healthcare, union jobs, and protecting democratic freedoms.
