This is not just a bad week in politics. This is a geopolitical war being waged by Russia against the USA. Do you think Putin cares what Democratic ex-presidents have to say about anything?

It's a lot more accurate to think of Trump as a Russian Special Forces General who has occupied the WH.

If the ex-presidents speak out it might rally international opinion a bit, but it won't alter the tactics in play at the WH.
