Tuesday Stuff


Mehdi Hasan speaks with Oxana Shevel, president of the American Association for Ukrainian Studies; they discuss Vlad the Butcher of course and the war in Ukraine (echoing earlier clips about Putin refusing to tolerate the presence of a democracy on his border...and this is another typically disgusting move)...



...ang Joy Reid talks with Prof. Nina Khrushcheva and former Russian U.S. ambassador Michael McFaul on the ways Putin is clamping down on social media and messaging overall in Russia concerning the Ukraine war (along with companies pulling out of that country...also, Reid plays the video of that captured Russian soldier at the end; the full clip is roughly about 10 minutes, and it is indeed very powerful)...



...and this is probably the most topical video Second Thought has ever produced, and it’s about Putin and Ukraine of course (definitely can do without Johnny Harris, I must say...the real payoff, such as it is, comes at about 17:00, discussing the conditions that brought us to Putin)...



...and Brian Tyler Cohen tells us that “Blow ‘Em Up” Bolton recently said that Trump would have taken the U.S. out of NATO if he’d had a second term...I think Bolton is a scumbag, but sadly, this remark makes sense (and regarding that typical Trump lie about Obama and blankets, I give you this)...



...and Jayar Jackson and Rick Strom tell us about this KY Repug idiot named Danny Bentley over RU-486 talking about Jewish women and cancer...yeah, a real Darwin award winner here (more here)...



...and happy International Women's Day (more here).
