📄 Episode Overview

In Episode #282 of Deep Shallow Dive, Ray Doustdar is joined by historian and geopolitical analyst Christine Lynn for a piercing, unflinching breakdown of the Russia-Ukraine conflict. Christine explains why she believes Russia’s actions were justified, exposes what really happened in the 2014 Maidan coup, and explores the long-standing role of NATO expansion, Western propaganda, and global regime change in shaping the war. This episode pulls no punches and delivers rare insight grounded in decades of historical research.

🧠 Key Takeaways

• Christine Lynn views Russia’s 2022 Special Military Operation as a response to 8 years of atrocities in the Donbas region. • The 2014 Maidan coup was orchestrated by the U.S., with snipers trained to escalate conflict and depose Viktor Yanukovych. • NATO expansion and U.S. foreign policy have long ignored Russian security concerns. • Zelenskyy ran on a peace platform but reversed course once in power, siding with U.S. interests. • Christine argues the U.S. is the true global aggressor and that Russia’s military approach has been proportionate and humane.
