He really is an expert guest and appears often with Lawrence O'Donnell. Rhiannon12866 Apr 20 #5
I highly recommend his "Bloodlands" and "The Road to Unfreedom," the best histories of Putin & Russia then and now. ancianita Apr 20 #10

I found his sudden turnaround surprising, too, especially since he just visited Mar-a-Lago Rhiannon12866 Apr 20 #6

knows his stuff. Get this to the featured story column and he should be heard on every major media outlet. I didn't know he wrote so many books on Ukraine and Russia. I hope to order and read every one.

I find it both reassuring and terrifying Johnson, in his role as Speaker, remained ignorant to the obvious connections between RU/CHN (and IR) until now, assuming his sudden course correction is, in fact, genuine. We shall see.

And we know that TFG "loves" Putin. I agree that we shall see, and he's said he isn't worried about keeping his Speaker's job, but with such a slim Republican majority, it looks like he finally has the votes to pass further aid for Ukraine and we also know that the country is behind this too.

Ukraine will finally get what they need and we remain vigilant against the christofascist threat Johnson represents. Slava Ukraini !

We need to send more aid ASAP - and keep supporting them in the future. We cannot let Putin take over this democracy, and I'm sure that Ukraine is only the beginning for him in his effort to recreate the USSR.
