On 27 February 2025, I was on Judge Napolitano’s show — “Judging Freedom” — where he and I concentrated on examining what Trump is doing with regard to settling the Ukraine War.
Zelensky was a fool for believing Biden and trusting the US. Realists need to bang the drums louder than neocons did to seed their theories. Don't expect help frOm this Administration! While agreeing with your analysis, I point to the purile, threatening and destructive Trump/Vance tirade against Zelensky today. Who wants to see their President play bully with another head-of-state and violate even the most basic rules of diplomacy? I doubt anyone but a small, hard core fraction of his own supporters. They have no clue how blemished US credibility is at this point. It was disgusting.
Is Mearsheimer a paid for Russian Asset? He is clearly a Russophile. Very poor performance from anyone who throws wild accusations of Russophobia during a debate. I disrespect anyone who throws any kind of phobia at someone who disagrees with them be it Islamophobia, Sinophobia etc.
There are good reasons for Britain to be very sceptical about Russia. Boris Johnson and his Conservative Party have many questions to answer especially regarding his relationship with the son of the head of the KGB whom he gave a peerage to. We also have questions about political donations made to vote leave.
Yes the Russians have interfered in elections and you know that Mearsheimer.
Praise for Trump after bullying your country’s friend suggests “moneyed ignorance loudly lectured exhausted experience” which often as a Russian apologist you academically provide.
It is always surprising to hear that Russia is “very conservative country.” I wander based on what? On Russophobia and American exceptionalism?
The Bolsheviks granted women voting rights and equality under law in 1918. In 1922, a no fault divorce, right to abortion, and a marital rape statue.
Literacy classes for women were working all over the country including in the Muslim regions of the USSR. Women were actively recruited to the higher education institutions starting from 1920s.
By 1960s, there were as many female college students as male. I believe the US reached that ratio just recently. In the USSR there were more women doctors than men.
USSR sent the first women into space in 1963, the same year that the Princeton University opened admissions to women.
Today, Percentage wise, there are more women scientists and engineers in Russia than in America.
Russian women have a guaranteed 3 years maternity leave: half paid, half unpaid with the right to return to the same workplace. They also have a good quality day care and free medical care. The higher education is merit based and free. There are domestic violence laws in the criminal code. Abortion up to 16 weeks is still free and covered.
There are many autonomous republics and regions inside the Russian federation that have their own laws. Racism, antisemitism and ethnic hatred are prohibited. The current head of the National bank is Elvira Nabijduluna of a Tatar ethnicity. Sergei Shojgu of military is from the autonomous republic of Tuva in the Asian part of Russia. By the way, Stalin was Georgian and Brezhnev was Ukrainian.
The criminal law against homosexuality had been abolished in 1990s, probably the time as the southern states in the US. Promoting homosexual lifestyle is prohibited, but the practice of homosexuality in personal life is not.
Russia is a secular country. Religion is not promoted in schools and the prayer is not a part of the school day or a parliamentary function.
Maybe they have more so called Diversity, Equality and Inclusion than they are given a credit for?
Please finally ignoring that eastern Europe never wanted Russkyi Mir and they BEGGED the western countries to let them into the western fold even when western countries were reticent. And the nonsense from that Trump Quote is frankly embarrasing.
I’ve been opposed to US involvement in Ukraine from the start. But Friday was a day of infamy. The country is controlled by a cabal of vulgarian, amoral misfits.
A very calm and realistic account of what is going on in regard to this issue, since theatrics with all manner of scary predictions seems to be on the political menu especially with Trump in office. I appreciate that. Thankyou.
I'm sure many of us grew up with this rhetoric that was meant to scare the hell of you They have repeatedly used Russia as a boogeyman, but I became more afraid of US who was always trying to scare me.

An absolutely shameful performance.
What "other head-of-state"? Ziolenskiy's term is long expired. And yes, the WWII Ucky Kingdom "government" was also illegitimate.
No John, tRump does not understand SHIT! After all this?! You don’t seem to understand either!
A majority of pundits who were covering the war in Ukraine have lost their critical thinking skills.

Refreshing to hear sanity speak it's mind.

Putin doesn’t need Trump or his ‘peace’ deal.
… and so… we quit talking about Fort Knox Gold⁉️… that was a fast, short lived, story line.

Congrats: from yesterday's Ova Office performance, you have a king, a despotic one!
Just a few weeks ago Dr. Mearsheimer’s view was that the IDF lost the
war in Gaza and was in full retreat. Today he has observed that Israel
about to annex Southern Lebanon and all of the area of Syria south of
Damascus and is doing to the West Bank what they have done in Gaza.
If he finds events on the ground in the Middle East changing so quickly, why
should any of his prognostications concerning Russia / Ukraine have any
credence?
Donald Trump is a GOOD President! 🇺🇸

The press conference with president Zelensky was shocking but predictable
