What Putin Really Wants

Subscribe to Daily SignalSubscribe

Military aggression is no surprise coming from Russia—it’s what Russia’s been doing for generations. But Americans might be surprised to learn the motivations behind that aggression. What’s going through Putin’s mind when he invades Crimea and wages war in eastern Ukraine? Today, we address those questions and more with Nolan Peterson. He’s the Daily Signal’s foreign correspondent who lives in Ukraine and has been covering Russia’s aggression in that country for several years.

We also cover the following stories:
-Trump continues to rail on Baltimore as "corrupt."
-Contrary to popular belief, the U.S. women's soccer team actually earned more than the men's team.
-America's approval of tech companies has plummeted.
