1. Of course, he is correct. To think that the actual history of the Doviet Union was something

that post Soviet countries want to return to.

The conventional war has shown Russia's systematic weaknesses. Putin has exposed himself and can't walk this back.

Question is, will Putin press the nuclear button....and can anyone stop him?

2. Why is Vindman retired now? The country needs his service.

With a rank increase.

3. I'm guessing and hoping that he is giving of his knowledge in any case.

Sometimes it's better to be outside of the bureaucracy.

5. Hope so!

Seems he has the direct knowledge on what's going on. Really excellent sources.

4. This is an important interview. And the scenes of the destruction behind it are horrifying

Thank you for posting.

6. It's too late for Putin, I don't see any gains for him. No new statues to be built that won't get

torn down when he's gone. No nation praising him for his heroism. No parks or streets named after him. No countries will want him to lead. His family will be shamed forever.

It's a dead end. Hope he doesn't go nuclear.

7. MSNBC is showing him a lot today. He is correct.

We are too afraid of Putin's saber rattling. Also, change the name of No Fly Zone. He said that what we see as extremely risky and dangerous at the time is often viewed as a necessity when we look back on it in our history. The US needs to act stronger and NOW.
