While Ukrainians are suffering from the hell of war that has followed the Russian invasion on Feb. 24, debates have raged in the West over how the war started and who is responsible. But if people in the US specifically and the West in general insist on putting themselves at the center of this conflict—whether as the chief instigators or the necessary saviors—they will continue to misunderstand what this war is about and what its outcome will mean for Ukraine, Russia, and the larger geopolitical realignment that is unfolding in real time. In this urgent, unscheduled segment of The Marc Steiner Show, Marc speaks with journalist, activist, and documentary filmmaker Lia Tarachansky about the West’s failure to see Russian imperialism for what it is and to comprehend the reality of a world moving beyond the bounds of Western hegemony.
Lia Tarachansky, born in Ukraine when it was still part of the Soviet Union, is an Israeli-Canadian journalist, documentary filmmaker, and multimedia artist. Tarachansky is TRNN’s former Israel/Palestine correspondent and has directed a number of award-winning feature films and shorts, including On the Side of the Road, Ethnocracy: Israel’s African Refugees, and Ocean.
Tune in for new episodes of The Marc Steiner Show every Monday and Thursday on TRNN.

She certainly has a narrative, doesn't she?
The only thing that this woman said that was spot on was "I don't know". Not bright not informed…not worth listening to.
But can you have neo-nazis on both sides? I suppose they just like violence and want to practice violence.
But it doesn't seem like we the West are really trying to get Ukraine to win in any sense. (They don't think it's possible?) So I feel like my government is now complicit in all the death and destruction of Ukraine, not even trying to win, but instead to … I guess degrade Russia and/or look tough for China? That seems to be what important people keep saying whenever they stray from the "Free Ukraine" moral message.
Masonic order out of chaos. Pipeline still running from Russia through Ukraine. Russia supplying US with Uranium and Masonic insignia on Mr Putins ICBMs lol😊
Stockholm syndrome
Yanukovich was so a Russian puppet, that he almost make Ukraine join the EU. OMG, does she ever think about what she says? LOL.
Just reading the comments, OMG how people just didn't ready to accept the real thing like it is, out of russia – NATO paradigma.
Just want to scream and say – Hay, it is Ukraine that fight now almost 2 years against the "2 army of the world", would your really think that they can do this so long just for some kind of NATO ore Europe manipulations? We know what happens if the russia will win, it would be the and. Sorry for those couches vestern activists that still didn't see it… Hope when that realize how the russia play them, it would not be to late.
At last some person that really know something about the topic out of the russian propaganda.
Campist brain rot.
"I'm not into mega-narratives", but I will express my own! Does she listen to herself?! Obviously only to herself!
"Who's fault is it ?" That is the easiest question. Obama/Kerry/Nuland are to blame. Without them, Ukraine, including Crimea, would be whole.
There wouldn’t have been a putsch, no donbas secession, no war, no Russian invasion, no nato expansion, no cutting of the German/Russian gas line.
There 420,000 more people would be living in Ukraine that are instead now dead.
Nonsense
The Ukraine has been shelling the Donbas since 2014..Russia said stop
We aren't CNN reported militias moving into Ukraine, and then about child training camps
This lady is saying do your homework before dictating what happens. As well the man who sound of freedom is about , was hired to go to Ukraine and find hundreds of children being taken inside the country and from Holland there's always abenifit for war that's all we gotta ask is what's making a orifitin this un established torn country most Citizens have left it like 90 percent
And that lady blames dear president Putin to become SuperPower if you blames surely he will be succeded INSHALLAH INSHALLAH INSHALLAH INSHALLAH INSHALLAH INSHALLAH INSHALLAH INSHALLAH ALHAMDULLIAH ALHAMDULLIAH ALHAMDULLIAH AMEEN AMEEN AMEEN AMEEN AMEEN AMEEN AMEEN AMEEN AMEEN AMEEN AMEEN AMEEN
They never asked about palestian and we Muslims don't care as we know what OUR BELOVED AND HOLY PROPHET SALALLAH ALIHY WAALAHI WASALAM SAYS ABOUT THEM "WHO ARE THE BIGGEST ENEMIES OF THE MUSLIMS?"
Professional propaganda here. This lady talks circles around the story. Hey lady, aggression didn’t start with Putin moving in, aggression was going on against Ukrainians for the better part of a decade and it was perpetrated by a western backed totalitarian regime that is now responsible for hundreds of thousands of dead Ukrainians. See if you can get some mention of that out of your pie hole.
Stop giving your crap 👎👎👎
I would like to appreciate the Israeli lady, she is 80% better all western madia Journalist…although, she was trying to balance both western and Russia,… what i was not agreed was, Russia wasn't in faded Ukraine, because of western expansion, but, was planning to recapture eastern ukrine and Crimea ……..and her blame to Qaza as a whabi…While she didn't mention Israeli extreme religious rapist… Anyway she was better than western journalists liers. Thanks
What a funny bloodshed, is it? I also speak the languages and she's completely wrong; Russia expressed grave concerns and issued warnings about NATO with every expansion, every installation of a nuclear capable missile facility (Poland and Romania), every attack and covert operation against her [potential] allies (Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, Libya etc.) Putin asked for neutrality – hardly ridiculous – he issued warnings and this war started only when he had completely run out of patience – AND when he had rebuilt Russia's defences (sic) and only when the pressure became too much She doesn't even mention US Neocon and CIA role (Victoria Nuland) in the "Orange Revolution" and beyond, she's confusing who the actual Nazi are and have been historically, she doesn't speak of the biological weapons labs. As for BRICS and others – they don't live in the same propaganda bubble as the "West" so, of course, they have taken notice, seeing how the US have been starting wars and pushing for confrontation in this "New American Century". US Propaganda typically misrepresents the reaction as the hostile action of a "mad man" and it only works because the provocation is secret and not reported. When did you last hear about a CIA operation like "Timber Sycamore" in American media?
She earned my full respect.
If we talk about fascism, I'm only going to say one name: Stepan Bandera. And I know as a Mexican what it means to live next to a super power. So I do not qualify as pro-Western but from here I see that it is NATO, NATO and simply NATO and like my African brothers from Burkina Faso, Mali and Niger, I already have my Russian flag ready.
