Katie , Thank you for covering this. This is so important that other media are not covering.

[@RiverPaisley]

I’m such a huge fan of Julia Ioffe and her work. That said, saying the US has never had a war on their territory invalidates the First Nations Aboriginal people and their invasion. Seems important to mention as many of them still suffer the impacts of that. Thanks Katie and Julia for this. This is so important.

Alexei Navalny is the sacred victim of the American masters. An unsuccessful project to destroy Russia. Don't believe the propaganda of these stupid or bought women. Look at the movie "Avatar", in which the American crooks are trying to kill a free tribe living according to its own traditions. So it is now, the USA against Russia. Whose side are you on?

This has to be one of the most valuable interviews I’ve seen on these topics. Thank you so much. There’s so much at stake and Americans need to really understand that. The worlds democracies are in the cross hairs of dictators. We don’t want any part of that here. It’s definitely scary.

what she said about the navalny family had me in tears!!! putin is a monster!!!

I completely understand their frustration. The best solution for Europe is to unite and act in their own best interests. America will never be the bastion of the west that it was before Trump poisoned the well. MAGA sees alliances as a protection racket.

Ystrdy, I saw a video recording of a mtg in the Munich Security Conference, called the Ukraine Lunch, held the other week. The Foreign Minister of Poland Sikorsky said, how can a politician whom we had never heard of before, hold the supplementary aid package to Ukraine for his own reasons then recess for two weeks while Ukrainians are dying.

[@e.d.3729]

wonderful discussion. I would ask that you call it a "murder" than a "death" however. because that's accurate and establishes instantly what has happened.

.I believe that the error that NATO has made with Russia in regard to Ukraine, has been in not being anywhere near aggressive enough. I believe that deterrence is very important. I think that great efforts should be made to either stop bad things from happening or to stop them from getting worse. I think that a major motivator for Putin's actions in regard to Ukraine starting with the 2014 invasion and annexation of Crimea, has been his belief that the West is indecisive and scared and that he could get away with doing pretty much anything that he wanted to. I believe that the primary reason for the inadequate reaction of NATO has been fear of a nuclear conflict. Basically, I believe that through nonsensical bluffs and the West's own independent fear, Putin and his cronies have succeeded in cowing the NATO alliance into allowing Russia to seize Crimea in 2014 and begin a new invasion in 2022 that could result in Ukraine's eventual defeat. I believe that the chances of Russia's using nuclear weapons in Ukraine is miniscule at best. If Putin/Russia used nuclear weapons, I am sure they realize that they could easily be "signing their own death warrant" which I very much doubt they have much interest in doing. I strongly believe that corrupt government officials and oligarchs who spend billions of dollars of stolen money on colossal yachts and mansions have very little interest in committing suicide in attempts to keep stolen lands in Ukraine. People who are very interested in worldly goods of great luxury, are expressing a strong desire to go on living. When Russia seized Crimea in 2014, I believe that the U.S. and the rest of NATO should have told Putin in "no uncertain terms", that if Russian forces did not immediately leave Crimea, they would send their military into Crimea and destroy the Russian forces that were present there. If Russia had not complied with that demand, then NATO should have made that threat a reality. These actions almost surely would have prevented the 2022 Ukraine war from happening and could have saved hundreds of thousands of Ukranian lives. In 2022 when U.S. intelligence predicted that Russia was about to invade Ukraine, the U.S. and the rest of NATO should have warned Putin/Russia, that if they go ahead with their invasion, then the combined NATO forces would enter Ukraine and destroy the Russian military that was present. Again, I think that that this action could have very possibly stopped the Russian invasion before it happened. I still believe that the U.S. and the rest of NATO should take direct and aggressive action now in the war in Ukraine. I believe that the combined NATO forces should send a very large military force into Ukraine and destroy the Russian military that is present there. Russia is no longer a super-power and has not been one since the collapse of the Soviet Union. Russia has demonstrated in Ukraine for all to see, that it does not have a great military. The Russians are well aware that they cannot successfully stand up to the U.S. alone or to the combined forces of NATO. The only real danger that Russia presents is a large nuclear arsenal that I would strongly suggest that they dare not use. Confronting Russia on a Ukrainian battlefield would in fact not create "World War III". - This is a myth. The 32 countries that make up NATO versus Russian forces that are present in Ukraine, is not a World War. It is the total destruction of those Russian forces that have invaded Ukraine. NATO needs to "grow a backbone". China, North Korea and Iran are not sending armies to Ukraine to fight "shoulder to shoulder" with Russia. - This is not going to happen. This threat of World War III is little more than nonsense that Russia would dearly love for the West to believe. Russia should be forced to give back to Ukraine, every inch of land that they have illegally seized including Crimea. After all Ukrainian lands have been returned, Russia should be compelled to pay backbreaking reparations to rebuild all of Ukraine that they have destroyed. A stern message needs to be sent to all aggressor nations that all they will receive for their actions is military defeat, isolation and economic collapse. Reply

[@joshuapaul2022]

Zelenskyy regime is on its last legs and it will unlikely survive until the end of the year. Well, it's a quote from The Time article. Zelenskyy top advisers say about him: “He deludes himself,” one of his closest aides tells me in frustration . “We’re out of options. We’re not winning. But try telling him that. It is immovable, verging on the messianic. ” One Austrian artist was in a similar state in 1945. Zelenskyy "achievements" to date: 500,000 Ukrainians are dead, 3x that mangled and crippled for life, half of Ukraine's population is living as refugees scattered all over Europe and Russia right now, they're drafting women because they've run out of men to kidnap off the streets, gyms and public transport . NYT wrote about these mass kidnappings that were happening only in Zelenskyy Ukraine and Hitler's Germany in 1945 in an article ‘People Snatchers’

[@waldemarsikorski4759]

You're some Ruᛋᛋsian asset, constantly and everywhere.

[@catc8927]

Only Russian trolls immediately compare Ukraine to Nazi Germany. Zelenskyy is Jewish and lost relatives in the Holocaust, and he did not invade his neighbor, he is just defending his country! (Then again, Putin thinks Poland invited an invasion from Germany, so ….) Ukraine doesn’t need to be perfect to deserve support. They have a post-Soviet legacy of corruption and vranyo that they’re actively trying to leave behind, and we all know that. The difference between Russia and Ukraine is that while both countries have seen forced conscriptions and fleeing men, the Russian government has never talked about corruption in conscription, much less done anything to fix it, while in Ukraine, this is openly reported even under martial law, and corrupt recruiters were fired. According to the NYT article, all it took was a lawyer to stop mobilization of a mentally disabled man, no bribe, which means there is actual rule of law in place. Open reporting is a strength of an open society, not a weakness (“daylight is the best disinfectant”) - not that Kremlin trolls understand that.

[@thinkerly1]

[@user-cz3eo1jt9g]

​@@waldemarsikorski4759 You know that many Ukrainians want an end to the war, even if the territories captured by Russia are lost to Ukraine. Yes, ordinary people in Ukraine already understand that continuing the war is pointless, since there will be no victory for Ukraine, but there will only be more death, destruction and debt. The population fled, and those who remained are afraid of mobilization, because it is a “one way ticket”
