hi, there, everyone. its 4:00 in the east. it took years and one court ruling after another, appeal upon appeal and even a trip to the united states supreme court, but today the american public finally has its hands on something donald trump has so doggedly sought to conceal -- his tax returns, six years worth. an unprecedented window into his financial picture. this public release, which among other things shows that donald trump paid very relatively in taxes in the years before and d...

There has been no dearth of peacemaking proposals since the very beginning of the Russo-Ukrainian war. All, however, reflect a profound misunderstanding of what the conflict is about. The war is not about Russia’s alleged (in)security or “disputed” territories. It is primarily about Russia’s coveted great power status and antiquated imperial identity, of which Ukraine, as a direct successor to Kyivan Rus, is a key part.

Cooperation in nato has changed dramatically. belorussian territory, belorussian soil can be used as a place for deployment of russian troops and they can land operations towards ukraine, slavic nations, lithuania, and you mentioned amendments of legal framework after the so-called referendum. now we have amendments of constitution which allow do deploy nuclear patterns in belorussian territory. this is one more very serious threat to our security we have to keep in mind. >> let me ask you this....

Look back, i think with the constitution was amended in 2020 during covid crisis, he amended the constitution, he can now run forever. and that really made him who put in the first and he completely became irrational, unpredictable, and completely divorced from reality. its kind of a covid syndrome. my fear is that some people beat up flight attendants because they are frustrated. and he just bombs the whole country. so wet i think, and what i wrote in the piece, he does seems like he is thinkin...

We now need to look at this as a pattern? what he did in georgia, what he did with crimea, what hes doing now, and should we just assume lithuania, latvia, estonia, kind of already there with belarus, i mean, should we be connecting these dots like this? >> i think two things, chuck. first with regard to the use of force we should connect the dots, and the dots are chechnya 1999, georgia 2008, ukraine 2014, syria 2015, and now this escalation and invasion, second invasion of ukraine. i say that ...

First of all, use the words "occupation," war, attack, its a special mission in dunetsk and luhansk. its a special operation. so theres a lot of propaganda campaign out there to limit the damage to the reputation of whats going on and how russia attacks ukraine, but i think the long-term, maybe even not that long-term, damage to putin is probably going to be significant. regardless of the -- whether its a short war, a long war. i would compare it to the soviets going into afghanistan in 1979 and...

Sense starting to get through to russians, at least they are not talking any more about all these ridiculous... that they started the war with. maybe they are not realising that they are not winning this war and wont ever win. interesting. isnt there for your instinct that the strategic objective of the russians now is to just concentrate on the east? putin said very clearly — just concentrate on the east? putin said very clearly what _ just concentrate on the east? putin said very clearly wha...

It tell you about the kind of war the russians are waging? >> well, this is turning into an increasingly savage conflict, since the russians invaded. id hazard, it looks like, if, by speculation, looks to me like a retreating russian column, vehicles, and possibly soldiers or national guard or ill-disciplined taking pot shots at ukrainians as theyre driving by. that would be my view, looking at it. but its horrible and as jegenel pitad said, these are the weeds of war, this is an infight in a ho...
