That clip. Its nauseating. How does someone so repellently odious get to be in any such position? And I'm full of respect for the journalist for staying so calm and giving the man so much rope.
It’s hilarious those Russian clowns say their nuclear weapons are in better condition than the wests.
One thing I know for sure is that corruption is so rampant in the Russian military and their system so rotten that if they did try and launch a nuclear strike a whole bunch of the weapons would blow up in the siloes, others would fall on Russian cities as they ran out of fuel after some being stolen and sold off by local commanders, their 1980s unmaintained tracking chips would fail seeing others land in Siberia or Moscow and others would fail to explode
Yes some would get through and that’s why we can’t be blasè about it, but Russian nukes would kill as many Russians as westerners before we even launched a counter-strike
What worries me is people have become politicians, so hateful of their opponents that they'll believe whatever's convenient for their side. There is no price to pay for lies that should disqualify anyone from power and influence and there is no advantage to admitting you got it wrong.
It was Vance who was the trigger for the Springfield stuff
The Amy Chuas and NYT editorial boards of the world, the Yale/Harvard American elite who deliberately misread his awful book to invite him into the club and advance his political career really need to be endlessly shamed for their role in his career
A good example how exposing a liar brings out their true nature - a belligerent bully who preys on weak minds. Also why the internet should no longer be anonymous - so we can expose the "deplorables" out there. However, daylight only makes the vermin scurry into their hiding holes and does not get rid of them - you need to sanitize their platforms - maybe a useful use of AI.
There are only so many papers podcasts sub-stacks etc that one person can follow but yours is up there on my list. Keep them coming
That has made my morning Simon. Thank you so much!
Seems like I’m not alone

Isn't he terrific!
He is. Well chosen!
Very good! Well worth a years subscription just for this. Thank you.
Thank you Matthew. That is very kind of you
Looking forward to the broadcast interview with Peter. Nice piece. Thanks.
Thank you. It should be up tomorrow
LOL

Another great piece. These are issues that matter, and get so little attention in the surviving newspapers. Thank you.
Great bit of journalism from the NTN24 reporter. He deserves to go far. I doubt I’d be able to keep cool when being subject to such a tirade!
Absolutely. He deserves all the praise receives
