Russia Updates, Physician-Assisted Suicide, and What YouTube Teaches Us

The Bulletin discusses Putin’s ambitions in Ukraine, physician-assisted suicide, and YouTube catechism

This week on The Bulletin, Russell, Mike, and Clarissa talk with National Review’s Noah Rothman about the Russia-Ukraine war– its history, its geopolitical complexities, and its casualties – both physical and spiritual. Emily Belz joins to discuss legalization of physician-assisted suicide in New York and how we can think about the end of life. Last, college ministry leader Dylan Musser shares how he’s seeing students use TikTok and YouTube as educational tools, and what happens when a platform meant for sharing opinions and preferences is used to convey eternal truths.
