Early this morning, Russia began a full-fledged assault on Ukraine. Multiple cities and military bases are under fire as part of Russia's military offensive. In Kyiv, residents woke up to the sounds of blasts in and around their city. And some US military observers see the Russian invasion of Ukraine as a sort of “shock and awe” effort, aimed at cowing a possible Ukrainian resistance. We hear why some military experts think Russian troops will have a hard time stabilizing an occupied Ukraine. Plus, Turkish pop-star Tarkan just released "Geçcek," or “It Will Pass.” On the surface, the song speaks to getting through the pandemic, but many say it’s a veiled way to express the imminent end to President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan’s rule.
