Nothing about the war in Ukraine is simple — including the diplomacy, which might be even messier than the battlefield. Michael Kofman, Justin Logan (Cato), and Liana Fix (the Council on Foreign Relations) joined Ryan to help him understand the negotiations underway about Ukraine’s fate. From the minerals deal to Zelensky’s approach to Trump to the prospects for a European peacekeeping force, they cover it all, and have a few friendly arguments along the way.

An Air Force veteran tries to force a Marine, a soldier and a sailor to admit that the Air Force is the best branch in this comedic short about branch rivalry from Shannon Corbeil, a (you probably could have guessed it) U.S. Air Force veteran, actor and We Are The Mighty host.
The short film teases each branch, hitting them where it mock-hurts, with all the good-natured fun of branch-on-branch joking. Think of a stereotype for your fellow brothers and sisters in arms and it probably makes an appearance in the film, which stars actual veterans from each branch: Tyler Grey (U.S.
