Join the Whiskey Bench for the final (for the time being) episode of the Ukraine series. In this episode the Bench dives into proxy wars, corruption, and foreign meddling that all adds further context to the Ukraine conversation. Stephen and Kat jump back in time (again) and run through the long history of the United States and Russia fighting proxy wars, insane things the C.I.A are responsible for, and unpack the corruption and scandal surrounding US officials' dealing inside Ukraine.

What is Whiskey Bench?
Welcome to the Whiskey Bench, where we pair cocktails with conversation. Whether we’re diving deep into a meaty subject like the history of fascism or why monetary policy drives inflation, or just bringing you the highlights of a crazy news week, we aim to look past the simple answers and discuss the complexity of our wild world. So pull up a chair, pour yourself a drink, and join us on the Whiskey Bench.
