armed convoy towards Moscow incident.

I don't know about that. Putin seems weak in that his forces did nothing to turn the convoy around. Prigozhyn turned around after cutting a deal with Belarus.

We could all still the echoes of uproar of "how weak' coming from the republicans and media today, two days later.

I dunno, the guest's statement doesn't ring true to me.
