David Waldman presents a special International Women’s Day KITM to celebrate the social, economic, cultural and political achievements of women, a day when even the Queen is treated like a… Queen.
International Woman Joan McCarter is a scholar of the corrupt, retrograde, splintering governments of the Soviet Union, clearly giving her insight into today’s Washington, as well as the grassroots associations working behind the scenes to help keep those societies livable. An example over in Russia is the Union of the Committees of Soldiers' Mothers, tracing the fate of sons deployed in Ukraine.
Denmark will increase its defense budget and aim to become independent of Russian energy, which is weird, as Russia didn’t just suddenly appear now, did it?
Russia might be losing presently, but they are certain to make sure everyone loses eventually. Ukraine is today’s enemy, but Putin’s shitlist grows daily. Really, you know that “list” is just America, right? It’s all Putin has ever pointed to, who his remaining state news outlets point to, who all of his useful idiots abroad point to. Russians believe him, at least enough do at the moment. China is as concerned as Susan Collins, but might be consoled to see Russia weaker, tired and more dependent on them than ever.
Meanwhile, Kentucky's teacher pension system says reports that it’s a top Russian bank shareholder are “completely false”, because they flushed that down the toilet before the cops got there.
The Krazy Karen Konvoy failed to storm, or stall D.C. over the weekend, so they tried even harder and failed even harder on Monday. They will continue to burn money and fuel, neither helping Putin as much as originally planned.
