Putin says he didn't like the Tucker Carlson interview because it was too soft. "I honestly thought he would be aggressive and ask tough questions. I wanted that, because I would have given tough answers back [...] to be frank, I didn't get much pleasure from this interview."

That is what's especially galling about Musk, Sacks and their ilk. In WWII, we had to get involved to ensure the survival of free peoples around the world. Today, if we give Ukraine what it needs to win, then not a single American soldier will have to fire a gun in anger.

I’ve always been shocked by willing many Russians were to abide Putin’s hunger for power. In response to sanctions, I’ve heard many say that they can do without a “few extra cheeses at the grocery.” It appears that for many, navalny’s poisoning and arrest finally crossed a line.

Trump is admitting here that he lost the election and was scheming to overturn the results. Sadly, the simple fact that he's publicly discussing it -- and not, say, getting caught on a secret tape -- will lead many in the media to downplay this admission.
