Vladimir Putin believed Ukraine was going to launch a new offensive in the south, so he deployed troops from the northeast of Ukraine to defend the south...and Ukraine then launched a major offensive in the northeast. Ukraine played rope-a-dope and Putin was the dope. Ukraine forces were able to recapture dozens of villages and towns... Continue Reading →
When I was a kid, I accepted that the world was going to end in my lifetime through nuclear war. In a way, it was kinda like the kids today who have never lived in a world before 9/11. Until 1990, I had never lived in a world without the Cold War. It was part... Continue Reading →
It was bad enough that we are offering Victor Bout in exchange for basketball player Brittney Griner and accused spy Paul Whelan. But now, the Russians are asking for an assassin to be included in the deal, a convicted murderer who's not even in United States custody. Viktor Bout is a Russian arms dealer without...

Why can't we trade Donald Trump, Steve Bannon, Roger Stone, Michael Flynn, Paul Manafort, and Tucker Carlson to Russia for WNBA star Brittney Griner? Brittney Griner was wrongly imprisoned. Even in a fascist oppressive state like Russia where the justice system is less consistent than Facebook's algorithms, nobody should be sent to prison for possessing... Continue Reading →
All-star American basketball star Brittney Griner has been in a Russian prison for over 140 days despite the fact she's not a criminal.

The first response was that it was a small fire from an explosion in their ammunition storage. That could be true. There was an explosion in their ammunition storage...after it was hit by two Ukrainian missiles.... Continue Reading →
I like to draw cartoons about Vladimir Putin I know I wouldn't be able to publish in Russia. How tall of a building would a Russian cartoonist get thrown off of after drawing a Putin bunny? As we all know, Vladimir Putin is a war criminal. His invasion alone can be considered a war crime... Continue Reading →
I quoted an everyday ordinary man-on-the-Moscow-streets in yesterday's blog who refuses to believe Russia has committed war crimes in Bucha, and probably anywhere else. He said, "If this is not fake, my brain refuses to accept it." Since he lives in Russia, the news he has access to probably won't ever tell him it's not... Continue Reading →
