Hi everyone! Thank you for being here.
This week, I have a special edition of the show. I interview Christian Ray Flores about his perspective in regard to why so many Russians actually support Vladimir Putin, and why Russia is fighting so hard — sending so many of its men to fight (and die) in Ukraine.
Honest to goodness, for the first time, it makes sense to me.
Flores lived in Russia for twenty years, and he knows the country well and has many friends still there. (Some who even still serve in legislative bodies.)
Flores also knows a lot about loving America.
He has witnessed a military coup in Chile, a civil war in Mozambique, and the fall of the USSR while he lived there.
In fact, all of this led to him writing a book called the “Little Book of Big Reasons to Love America: A Love Letter from an Immigrant.”
I think you’ll learn a lot about Russia and why we shouldn’t take America for granted by the time you end the show.
I really hope you enjoy the interview.
Here’s his book that we discuss:
And here is the Xponential Scorecard Assessment that he discusses toward the end of the episode.
Also, huge shout out to those of you whose paid subscriptions make it possible for me to devote time and resources to researching and compiling the news each week.

By the way, if you’re dealing with depression, PTSD, or thoughts of suicide, I have a link I’d like you to check out. In fact, it’s an entire page long. A pep talk, if you will, that I believe will help. Here’s the page: PTSD.
As you know, if you want true peace, I believe you should look to God and the Bible for that — not a country, not a party, and certainly not a person. If you know nothing about the Bible, but want to test the waters and maybe try it out, check out my resource page here.
I also have a podcast that focuses solely on faith called The Search for God. You can find it below.
I always like to end with an important reminder, whether you’re a Chrisitan or not.
And with that, thanks for joining us this week on The View from the Front.
