    Today, our question is from Nora, who lives in Anchorage, AK, and Nora asks It’s being reported that Russian drones violated the airspace of Poland on their way to Ukraine. It’s even being reported that Poland scrambled their air defenses and shot down a few of these drones. Could this be the pretense of NATO getting directly involved with the Russian/Ukrainian conflict? Would the US honor Article 5 of the NATO charter if the rest of NATO got involved?

    Qatar airstrike, an end to potential peace? S4E179 09.11.20254

    Today our question is from Peter, who lives in Norman, OK, and Peter asks Well, that didn’t take long. Israel conducted an air strike on the capital of Qatar to eliminate the Hamas leadership, and the world is losing its mind. Even Trumpy Trump is complaining. Reports are that the air strike failed to accomplish its goal. So my question is, since Qatar is a major player in the peace negotiations, how do you see this impacting any further advances toward a peaceful resolution? Did Israel make a major mistake undertaking this mission?

    Today, we answer a question from Robert, who lives in Seattle, WA. Robert asks, Last week we had another tragic school shooting in Minnesota. This madness just continues as lawmakers only offer thoughts and prayers. It seems obvious that the country is more interested in protecting guns than children. I guess my question to the panel is, is there anything we, the people, can do to stop these tragic shootings? Or are we as a country just incapable of solving this problem?
