Video Description
In this episode of Office Hours with Dr. Roy, Roy answers viewer questions on the history, politics, and global stakes of the Ukraine–Russia conflict. He tackles NATO’s role, Ukraine’s national identity, the history of Crimea, and whether this war has become a proxy fight between NATO, Russia, and China. Other topics include Russia’s territorial ambitions, the role of nationalism, Ukraine’s natural resources, and the influence of far-right groups in propaganda. Roy also discusses possible endgames — from peace treaties to frozen conflicts — and how U.S. politics, global power shifts, and economic interests shape the outcome. If you want historical context, clear analysis, and candid answers to the toughest questions about the Ukraine war, this conversation delivers. *filmed July 29th, 2025 ~~~ 🔉 Dr. Roy Casagranda Podcast 🔉 Podcast Spotify ▶ https://open.spotify.com/show/6aebF9BEErbbiTLEHEyV6z Apple Podcast ▶ https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/dr-roy-casagranda-podcast/id1837193563 ~~~ 00:00:00 - Introduction 00:01:00 - Did NATO expansion provoke the war in Ukraine? 00:13:58 - Is Ukraine a distinct nation or part of Russia’s historical identity? 00:23:46 - What’s the real story behind Crimea? 00:31:34 - Is Ukraine’s war a proxy conflict? 00:38:01 - What are plausible endgames for the war? 00:42:45 - What is the role of nationalism in this war? 00:50:15 - What motivates Russia's territorial ambition? 00:57:38 - What is the historical role of Ukraine’s natural resources? 01:00:53 - What about Ukraine’s far-right groups? 01:01:53 - Who is really "winning" this war — and can anyone? 01:08:53 - How does public opinion and U.S. policy shape the outcome? 01:13:02 - Is peace politically viable in today’s world? 01:25:55 - Conclusion #UkraineWar #RussiaUkraine #NATO #Geopolitics #History ~~~ © Dr. Roy Casagranda – All Rights Reserved.
