This is true. Thank you for this timely report. I think its about time that the NATO Allies just move in and shut the Russians down!

Then perhaps, Brian, you could make Kyiv a new home for your family; you could help them rebuild a society that values freedom and treasures constitutional government.

As for the US, your warning about the GOP fascists takes on authentic urgency, as Republican power-mongers construct their down-home plan to subvert state legislatures and then commandeer the ballot boxes of America for their own trumpian fascist putsch.

But then again, we could use your kean perspective over here on the other side of the pond, to help us put a constitutional stop to the trumpian state-hall putsch, now being assembled by Goppers to corrupt our legislatures.

We must not allow Bannon, Guiliani and Sidney Powell and their ilk to inflict another Jan6 coup on our legislatures and our Congress.
