In the final analysis, ‘facts don’t care about your feelings,’ or so they say. In the case of UkraineGate, the facts have been largely discarded in favour of a prescribed foreign policy narrative, one that’s custom-made to drive forward a New Cold War for the 21st century.
Pushback host Aaron Maté and guest Stephen F.
