Rules. thats contempt for rule of law. in addition, now were seeing people running for attorney general, people running for secretary of state. people running for governor who actually are running on these platforms where they have contempt for the rule of law for the courts, for evidence and all of this other stuff. this is really damaging for democracy. >> well, and people perhaps dont realize that, you know, what made it work last time in spite of the assault was the fact that it was democrat...

Center of industrial energy for a lot of ukraine. and in both the ukrainian capital, theres a strong effort being made to express unity and contempt for the kremlins about making their open decisions about joining nato. i dont think were likely to see mass protests if the reports are accurate and an invasion is imminent in their words, inlg that the switch will be by ukrainians to some kind of resistance. given the might of the russian machine and the relatively low levels of technological capab...
