Tim Snyder: In Putin’s Russia, facts are avoided

Hungary voted Monday to approve Sweden’s NATO membership after nearly two years of delays, ending 200 years of neutrality for the Scandinavian country as Ukraine enters its third year of war after Russia’s invasion. Yale University Professor of History Timothy Snyder joins MSNBC’s Lawrence O’Donnell to discuss.

Please know, the media shows Trump's circus for views...from what I'm seeing...on alternative media channels, We fired him already and the 30-40% or so radical Trumpers aren't enough to overturn that decision. We all know he's Putin's boy, and he's broke, no cash for flashy ads like 2020, and enough stench of desperation, that no one will lend him money, even Putin must know better by now ... But We know the threat, I promise.💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙

Spot on. Ukraine is fighting a proxy war on behalf of NATO and the EU, and the biggest, most important player, the US, dithers.

[@icemanzw]

So Kremlin was right after all even though you say unprovoked war 😂

[@MyHalcyonDaysAreHere]

This consolidation of support for Ukraine is supposedly a proud moment for NATO against Russia, what a big letdown all because of T****, Mike Johnson, and the rest of the spineless republicans. REMEMBER REMEMBER The 5th of November !

[@dribrom]

@zw No. Neither Kremlin and Larry is right. Way the US and most of Europe supports Ukraine is because we promised to do so back in 1994 when Ukraine gave up the nukes USSR had in their country.

[@nicholasbrus8628]

Ukraine is not fighting a proxy war ... they are fighting for themselves with support from the west ... they are not fighting for the west, but their own survival.

[@WangAiHua]

NO!--Ukraine is defending itself from the RuZZian Horde, just as its predecessor--Rus' fought the Mongol Horde when it entered Europe. Europe, hopefully, should understand that it is in Europe's interest to help Ukraine stop the RuZZian Horde from further invading Europe. It is not a proxy war--it is the first line of defense! The US is filled with RuZZian agents, collaborators and useful iidiots which make the US impotent during this dangerous time!

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’.
