Jyri Raitasalo – Finland, Russia and Ukraine

For over a month, the Russia vs Ukrainian conflict has captured the attention of the world. On the Break It Down Show, we've looked at a variety of aspects of the conflict. This episode we welcome back Finnish Army Colonel and Professor Jyri Raitasalo. Jyri speaking as a professor will help us to understand the Finnish point of view on the conflict.

As we've learned in past episodes with Jyri, there are many Europes. Each perspective amongst the various counties provides ever increasing layers of complexity and danger. Mix in some NATO, Finnish independence and the threat of nuclear or chemical attacks and we've got a unique and fascinating conversation ahead.

If schedules align, Xander Bullock is set to join the fellas to help lend his expertise to the show.
