Trump has given a different explanation for the war to everyone who’s asked. He’s a weird authoritarian, not even bothering to manufacture consent in advance. Now he’s A/B testing on the fly, and he'll just double down on whatever bullshit sticks with his base.

I've never read a more succinct and brutally honest account of the current state of affairs. The stakes for our country couldn't be higher.

Great to hear from Anne on Ukraine, especially after her colleague from the Atlantic wrote a terribly misinformed article on that war.

Edit: Sorry, the article I was referring to was in Foreign Policy, not the Atlantic.

The article I was thinking of was in Foreign Policy. I'm sorry, I misattributed it (it was late 🙄)

The Atlantic was on my mind because of a snarky piece on Buttigieg from Jonathan Lemire.

Thank you for sharing your keen grasp of the current situation. More credit to Ukraine!

Superb, both of you. It's a hard war, but it's good to hear about what's actually happening. Both in the Kushner-group and in the resistance, the drone factories, etc. The question remains: what comes next? "Apres moi?" as Marie Antoinette said.

The 'capillaries of power' work in two ways.

Two brilliant women. This begs the question, “Why is our country so afraid of a female president?” We wouldn’t be at war; we would have universal healthcare or at least be working on it; we would have free and fair elections, instead of the manipulation by the MAGAs in charge, and we wouldn’t have a corrupt family of idiots adding to their already bursting coffers. 🤷🏼‍♀️

Thank you both, impeccably dresssed as always.

As far as Venezulan money being in Qatar, I read

a few days ago it had been transferred to the U.S.

I'm certain the Qatari bank made alittle 'chump change'/ money laundering in the transaction.

In regards to autocrats 'closing ranks', Modi showed

his support for Netanyahu's forthcoming action in Iran.

This has made Sarah Kendzior's description of criminal networks disguised as governments abundantly clear.

Related, during the 2024 Debate, Kamala stated she had experience prosecuting transnational criminal networks.

Trump's reaction was a 'deer in the headlights' look and

that he had filled his Depends to the brim.

Sorry for the graphic description .... sort of.

Take good care.

Marvelous discussion, thank you both. How about more...and more often as well?

Anne mentioned Kari Lake. She is well known here in AZ as a hard core fascist and propaganda artist.
