Thrilled to have been on Fili Creative's "Ask a Kansan" podcast. I enjoyed talking about @KStateHistory, military history, science fiction, and being a professor. For some reason my episode is "The Compassionate Kansan."

The U.S. should be standing with Ukraine and Europe, but Europe can and should stand with Ukraine regardless of American policy. Or as some of us wrote last year: https://t.co/M2yDJDVldk
