Remember back before Bush and Biden lied us into invading Iraq protesters said no blood for oil and supporters denied it was about oil?

For those all that nonsense about the US, deep state, progressives, cancel culture, Obama or whatever maybe hugely important to hear as it strengthens their beliefs when Putin seemingly agrees/confirms them.
But it is all irrelevant to Putin unless he can exploit the divisions behind this to influence US public opinion in his favor.
Otoh Putin himself gains when using someone like Tucker as useful idiot to strengthen his own position in Russia. The long (pseudo-)historic part sells Putin's warped view on history to justify his aggression in Ukraine. Hardly anyone in the MAGA corner cares about that, but having Tucker around gives him another chance to sell his narrative, and in Russia Putin can present Tucker as some kind of the "real" America, because everyone in the US who is against Putin must be CNNCIAdeepstateObamasomething.
But it's funny indeed as Putin seems to suffer from that same historic illness which led various dictators previously to bore their audience with endless monologuesBlah

I've heard the Russian economy is doing well because the sanctions forced re-investment in Russia instead of oligarchs sending it abroad. China will back Russia in a war against Nato.One day Canada will rule the world, and then we'll all be sorry.

Economist editor @zannymb tells @jonstewart that arming Ukraine "is the cheapest possible way for the US to enhance its security. The fighting is being done by the Ukrainians, they're the people who are being killed. The US and Europe are supplying them weapons."
do you feel secure?​

With or without religion, you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion.

Outnumbered Ukrainian defenders battled a Russian assault for four months in the key city. Ukrainian commander Oleksandr Syrskyi said he had made the decision to avoid encirclement.
Ukraine's withdrawal from Avdiivka is a big deal and likely a direct consequence to the non deliveries of military aid to Ukraine that have been missed since early November at least. Neither Ukraine nor Russia are going to settle this thing at sea or in the skies. If major new aid is not received soon, there will probably be a forced peace treaty followed by a total conquest of Ukraine within 5 years when the treaty is unceremoniously flushed on a some truly absurd pretense (timing dependent on elections).

Within only two years Russia took a rather small town a couple km away from the territory they had under control before, from 2014. Blitzkrieg all over the map.

As sad and disappointing to Putin as the Russian military's performance has been in Ukraine in this war he will no doubt recognize that the Red Armies performance vs the third Reich in the first two years after Barbarossa was scarcely better and he will relish recalling how that conflict unfolded after that.
