-----Description of Podcast-----
Conflict is emerging between Russia and Ukraine, but the conflict dates itself nearly eight years. The problem at hand could be more than just Russia wishing to wage war against the West; instead, it could be the threat of destabilization. In this episode, YuYu and Spencer decipher the growing tension between Russia and Ukraine and they break down exactly what it means for the U.S., Ukraine, Russia, and others.

-----About The Half Hour-----
The Half Hour is a current events podcast designed with the intention of helping Extemp competitors (and other Speech and Debate members, as well as listening for the general public) understand the importance of political, social, or economical events on a domestic and international scale. As Extemp competitors only have half an hour to prep a speech, the podcast is designed to brief competitors in the same amount of time it would take for them to prep. Each episode looks at both sides of current events while providing background information to help expand upon the issue. The Half Hour also looks into common questions that people may be asked relating to current events and will work to answer them based on credible news sources from both sides.
