Consider This from NPR - The long history of Russia’s broken promises to Ukraine

Representatives from Russia and Ukraine will be in meetings to try to hammer out details of a ceasefire on Monday. But peace is still a long way off.

For starters it's only a partial ceasefire—no strikes on energy infrastructure. It's only for 30 days.

And the Ukrainians and Russians aren't even meeting with each other. The U.S. will be a go-between.

One of the biggest things working against a new agreement, is what happened after Ukraine's last agreement with Russia. And the ones before that.

Ukraine says it won't trust a promise from Russia. It needs security guarantees. To understand why, you've got to go back to the birth of independent Ukraine.

Stuff They Don't Want You To Know - The Trouble With Tariffs: the Smoot-Hawley Act

Tariffs! If you're like most people in the US, you probably didn't think much about the concept until recently -- it's always been one of those historical footnotes. However, the current news about proposed tariffs has the United States and the world overall in a tizzy. So what are tariffs? Why do some people love them, why do some people hate them -- and what can history teach us about the future? In tonight's episode, Ben, Matt and Noel separate the fact from fiction.

They don't want you to read our book.: https://static.macmillan.com/static/fib/stuff-you-should-read/

The Gist - Joe Gatto Continues Messing with People

On today’s Gist, former Impractical Jokers star Joe Gatto joins to discuss his new stand-up special Messing With People and how he pulls off pranks that leave folks smiling, not steaming. Then, Mike breaks down why Disney’s Snow White remake may mark the end of an era where ideology outweighed audience. And in the Spiel, the U.S. retreats from Ukraine—not just militarily, but morally—while the cost of disengagement climbs.
