the reason is simple, russia is for big. ukraine is too simple. russia itself is the largest country on planet earth with a relatively huge economy for the region and 145 million people who live there. ukraine has a population of about 40 million. it s the poorest country in europe. it s got an average annual income that s much lower than albania s. so just by looking at the most basic wikipedia numbers, if ukraine remained a sovereign country, ukraine it would have to reach a negotiated settlement with russia. pitch battles were not going to do it. that s not a moral judgment. you can root for the ukrainian military all you want. it s still a fact. the second thing that was immediately evident about this war was how unusually destructive it was, and was going to be. it wasn t just ukraine that was getting pummeled, though it certainly was, it was the entire western economy, including our economy. russian energy fuels europe. a recession in germany was certain to lead to a re

back in the good graces of donald trump, because he told the truth. and that is what happens when you tell the truth. the truth, in trump s universe you get penalized. you get crucified for it. and not to mention that, politically first of all, it s constitutionally. but politically, it doesn t make any sense at all, because all it does is you ask anybody about donald trump and republican party that they don t want to talk, about i don t want to talk about january 6th, they don t want to re-litigate all that again. and for those frontline republicans, those republicans down in districts that joe biden won believe, me that s the last vote they want to take. and it is really unclear and that it wouldn t pass. i want to ask both of you we have two new nbc news reporting exclusively tonight that ron desantis is planning a complete campaign reboot, as he struggles to close the gap with trump. maría, what is so telling to me it s two things. number one, the guy is running
