Today's GOP:
Sen. Josh Hawley from Missouri suggested preventing Ukraine from joining the NATO. The GOP is torn between defending democracy overseas and aligning with a racist nationalist dictator who has threatened America with nukes. Tough choice huh? hawley.senate.gov/hawley-biden-a…
The truth? " a plurality of Republicans (45 percent) said they had a very unfavorable view of the Russian leader" fivethirtyeight.com/features/the-g…
The other... uglier truth: theguardian.com/us-news/2022/f…
GOP Schizophrenia: Reagan endorsed and funded multiple covert programs to kill as many Russians as possible. He called the Soviet empire "'the focus of evil in the modern world,'' and implored religious right wing groups to support his fight against Russia.twitter.com/CPAC
Reagan implored Russia to stop oppressing people and end brutal occupation. "Tear down this wall" britannica.com/biography/Rona…

Kurt Vonnegut was part of era of American writers forged by the horror of World War II. Vonnegut chose quirky humor and plain speaking to tell stories but above all he was passionate about writing. This doc, his story is definitely worth a watch. vonnegutmovie.com
Director Robert B. Weide (Curb Your Enthusiasm) inserts his friendship and life into the film. We realize that this is not a work of dispassionate observation and analysis but it works. It is depressing how few of Vonneguts appearances and speeches can be found online.
In the interviews available on line, Vonnegut is candid and entertaining. But the doc's discovery of hundreds of old films and interviews in the doc shows us America doesn't really preserve and honor their cultural icons well.

"just like that, without any sanctions," "out of spite." , "this must be responded to in a quite symmetric manner."Like the E...and a number of singing-along states of the Anglo-Saxon world that will take part in this," he said on his VK page Saturday." tass.com/politics/14119…
Sing-along states celebrating after four days of frustrating the desires of carnal desires of VladPutin. Ra Ra Vlad Putin... Russia's smallest war machine.
A rich vein of humor and dance moves.

Tucker Carlson, Mike Pompeo...the ususal suspects. In Russian. snopes.com/fact-check/tuc…
Luckily GOP hopefuls have done their sentiment analysis and pivoted. Apparently they were tough on Russia.Mike even saw Soviet tanks on TV. Reaganesque is the new old mantra. wesh.com/article/pompeo…

That moment when survival and freedom depends on individual efforts. The war in Ukraine being taken up by citizens might be single most unifying event for Americans. washingtonpost.com/world/2022/02/…
The American militia movement began as an armed force against outside forces and then was led astray. Good paper on the US Militia movement: scholarworks.calstate.edu/downloads/x346…
One missing historical link in the current Ukraine conflict are the modern version of our WW2 era "Jedburgh's". Men and women dropped in behind enemy lines to support, coordinate and train resistance forces. Ukraine is at that point of need.
