Russia was all over the news this week. There was Tucker Carlson's interview with Putin, overshadowed by his propagandizing on behalf of the brutal dictator from grocery stores, subways, and fast food joints in Moscow. Then came the assassination of Putin's most outspoken critic, Alexei Navaldy, in the Siberian prison camp he was sentenced to die in for his criticisms. As if those weren't enough, we got Congress talking about Russian plans to fire nukes into space and take out commercial satellites.
I dive into all that and why it's such a bummer the new Right has taken such a Putin-apologetic stance that I think is frankly anti-American. How do we fix the country if both parties think the U.S is a trash country?
