212 | Neil Lanctot: How the Legacy of World War I Shapes Our Response to Ukraine

Episode Summary

For day eight of The Realignment's Ukraine coverage, historian Neil Lanctot, author of The Approaching Storm: Roosevelt, Wilson, Addams and Their Clash Over America's Future, joins to discuss how the clash between Theodore Roosevelt, Woodrow Wilson, and Jane Addams over America's entry into World War I shaped the 20th century and redefined America's role in the world. Neil and Marshall discuss how each figures competing instinct: intervention, neutrality, and pacifism lives on in today's debates.
