That Russian apologist professor at the end is REALLY hard to take. His cherry-picked version of history and WWIII fear-mongering is political propaganda, and not based upon the facts. Somehow members of the so-called Right these days talk precisely how Bernie Sanders used to back in the 1980s, yet expect to be taken seriously. Megyn, do better.
Fact is, in the early 1990s, with Yeltsin in charge in Russia, it was widely thought that the Cold War and its vestiges had been permanently erased. Francis Fukuyama's "The End of History" perfectly captured the moment. The US asked Ukraine to give up their nuclear weapons, which they only did in exchange for a US guarantee of protection. We then sold them down the river, like we have all too often with the Kurds. I wish we were more honorable in our relations with other countries.
Fact is, if Trump were in office, the Ukraine invasion would have never happened. It was Biden's ineptitude which gave Putin the green light to do as he pleased. That started with the Afghan disaster, of course, but then continued with Biden's pulling the choke chain on the Ukrainians, again showing weakness and fear to the Russians.
Which is precisely what Jeffrey Sachs favors. Biden should have let Ukraine be aggressive against Russia on Day One, and perhaps this war could have ended much earlier. Instead this administration did everything to ensure a long-term quagmire, giving Ukraine just enough to prolong a war and drag out endless slaughter. This belated move by Biden is a small step in the right direction of placing Ukraine in a better negotiating position once Trump enters office.

That Russian apologist professor at the end of Thursday's show (Episode 950) is REALLY hard to take. His cherry-picked version of history and WWIII fear-mongering is political propaganda, and not based upon the facts. Somehow members of the so-called Right these days talk precisely how Bernie Sanders used to talk back in the 1980s, yet expect to be taken seriously.
Fact is, in the early 1990s, with Yeltsin in charge in Russia, it was widely thought that the Cold War and its vestiges had become part of a world which had suddenly yet permanently ceased to exist. Francis Fukuyama's "The End of History" perfectly captured the moment. The US asked Ukraine to give up their nuclear weapons, which they only did in exchange for a US guarantee of protection. We then sold them down the river, like we have all too often with the Kurds. I wish we were more honorable in our relations with other countries.
We all know that if Trump had been in office, the 2022 invasion of Ukraine would not have happened. It was Biden's ineptitude which gave Putin the green light to do as he pleased. That started with the Afghan disaster, of course, but then continued with Biden's pulling the choke chain on the Ukrainians, again showing weakness and fear to the Russians.
Which is precisely what Jeffrey Sachs favors. In fact, what Biden should have done is let Ukraine be aggressive against Russia on Day One, whereupon this war could have ended much earlier. Instead this administration did everything to ensure a long-term quagmire, giving Ukraine just enough assistance to prolong a war and drag out endless slaughter. This belated move by Biden is a small step in the right direction of placing Ukraine in a better negotiating position once Trump enters office. Biden should have sent F-16s at the start as well, but openly admitted to being scared off by Putin's saber-rattling. Of course Putin will threaten WWIII any time he thinks he can convince the US to back off. What else does he have in his pocket? That sort of thing works on the Jimmy Carters, Joe Bidens, and Bernie Sanderses of the world. It is not supposed to work on Republicans. It sure didn't work on Reagan. And it would absolutely not work on Trump. Remember Trump telling Kim Jong-Un that the US nuclear button is a lot bigger than North Korea's?
No, there is no serious possibility that Putin is going to go nuclear. Russia is a backwater mess of a disaster of a country. Do their nukes even work? Putin has no interest in finding out, because there is a good chance that they don't. But ours do, and Putin would not only be dead in five minutes, his entire country would be in ruins. Remember what drives Putin more than anything else: A need to be seen by history as a Russian strongman who returned his country to its glory days of yore. Leaving it non-existent? He is not interested, really.
Despite some self-proclaimed Maga types pushing US isolationism as part of a larger picture of US fear and cowardice in front of weak pretenders like Putin and Russia, their platform of Democrat weakness is not only not Reagan-esque, it isn't Trump-esque either. They speak for themselves, and not for Donald Trump. Even JD Vance isn't opposed to the West helping Ukraine ward off Russian aggression, but only asks that the funding come from Europe.
As it happens, Ben Shapiro also covered this topic of Biden's latest move, followed by Putin's latest threat, on his show this week, either on Tuesday or Wednesday (I forget). Ben assured that the absolutely last thing Russia would do is pick a fight with the US, and certainly not a nuclear war. Ben is correct. The only serious concern we should have is the possibility of showing weakness to Putin and other nefarious actors on the world scene. Nothing encourages the bad guys more. The only reliable way to preserve peace is to exude fearless strength. After all, whenever US power is on display, our enemies tremble in fear. Which is how it should be.
