The unilateral bombing of Iran is disgusting but one silver lining is that Shaheed drones will not be delivered to Russia. I don't think Russian drones work too well.

I'm so glad to finally have been able to watch this entire video. And again, I am grateful that you partner with Stuart Stevens and the Lincoln Project. It is going to take all of our combined resources to fight Trump/MAGA. Trump/MAGA follow Putin's playbook, which bodes ill for our troops because Putin views his troops as cannon fodder. Trump will do the same. This is an enormously frustrating moment. If "Republicans" still think they are playing politics as usual, then they are beyond naive. Giving them credit for naivety is probably a gift. They are playing for Putin and for the oligarchs, not for America. It does not surprise me that Zelensky is more popular in America than is Trump. Zelensky has a soul and he is courageous. Plus he is supported by courageous Ukrainians who are actively fighting for their country and their lives. Too many Americans still see this as a reality TV show, which it is not. God love Kamala Harris for saying the hard part out loud, "Putin is a genocidal maniac. He will eat you for lunch." Release the damn Epstein files and lets see which other monsters who pretend to be "leaders" and above the law are there. This is what evil looks like and we have to stare it down. Take the masks off now.

Simon,

My grandparents also came to America from Kamianets-Podilskyi in 1890, and I visited the town 10 to 15 years ago. It is a walled city on a cliff overlooking an oxbow of a river, accessible by land only over a narrow ridge. Most of the buildings were disassembled by the Soviets to use to make buildings on collective farms around the town, but they had plans to rebuild the core of the city exactly as it was. We stayed in an inn called Getman or Hetman, which was the term that the Kossacks used to describe their leader. The walls of the stairway were covered with oil paintings of Kossask chiefs.

This was an all-too-brief (understandably) video but a great conversation.

Thanks.

Um, question: Anyone think Trump's hair today looks almost --- pink?

Or is that the computer screen I'm watching some of the WH pressers on?

Excellent discussion. We are fighting the wrong war against Iran. All of our ships, planes, soldiers, and weapons should be in Ukraine. Shame, shame, shame.

There are reasonable observations floating around that the rash Trump now has on the back of his neck is a pre-cancerous skin condition (typical for his outside pastimes, his age, and skin type).

The cream he's sporting is a sort of chemotherapy.

As is said in Yiddish (English here): "May he give it all away to doctors."
