Joseph M Lenard debates Kevin Michelizzi on Maverick News. This debate was fueled by some "historical facts" Mr. Lenard made on a Maverick News stream two nights ago that Kevin disagreed with. Rick allowed Mr. Leonard to come back on to explain his statements in more detail. Kevin just happened to hear this at 3 am his local time and joined the show to debate the points with Mr. Leonard. We discussed if "most Ukrainians welcomed Hitler as a liberator of Ukraine from the Nazis," the reasoning behind Russia going into Chechnya and Georgia, missing context behind the Finish invasion by the Soviet Union, and if Kevin is a "Putin Apologist" with a rigid pro-Russia viewpoint.
