Me, too. I was hoping it was going to be the smoking gun tying him to the Russians as a foreign agent.
I hope that is the case, but as usual I am less optimistic that a decisive Ukrainian victory on the ground is coming. I think it’s exactly what...
Well, the common theme in both messages is pretty clear: Russia acknowledges that it is losing. I also disagree about Putin not being a rational...
Here’s Medvedev’s read on the exact same situation: Let’s kick over the game board before admitting that we’ve lost. Putin's attack dog Medvedev...
Not if we don’t move in the direction of colonizing space.
