Where to From Here for Putin

Ray on “Dialogue Works”: Putin self-confident/boyant, widely respected, BUT must proceed gingerly in Ukraine, given the sophomores around Biden. One very puzzling/disquieting note: why would Russia give advanced ICBM to North Korea? A relaxed conversation.

Biden, Berlin, Paris, Putin

Ray with Judge Napolitano for their weekly 10 AM interview: commentary on Sen. J D Vance branding “preposterous” Biden’s warning Berlin and Paris would be in Putin’s sights if he wins in Ukraine. Gaza: clip of half-naked “Hamas” lined up, as in Buchenwald.

Why does Biden want Zelensky here tomorrow? Will Biden’s geniuses broach a deus-ex-machina plan to snatch victory from the jaws of defeat. Is a false-flag operation in the works? (The fat lady does not seem ready yet to sing.) Or will Zelensky finally be told, “Sorry, it’s over”.

Genocide is Genocide

Gaza: Call a Spade a Spade – Genocide is Genocide. Netanyahu riding atop mood of vengeance in Israel. BUT ABSENT US SUPPORT, ISRAEL WOULD HAVE TO STOP. So it’s on us. Biden, “Have you no sense of decency?” Judge also asks me: Kissinger: Genius or Monster?

Kissinger and Me

Kissinger and me: “Dialogue Works” lets me recount some of the positive things Kissinger did (exploiting the rift between the USSR & China for example), as well as the myopia that drove some ambassadors crazy. Lesson: hire clever people, but impose limits.

Who Killed Seth Rich

Did CIA’s Burns offer comedian Zelensky a job w/ “Saturday Night Live”, if he stops playing “Servant of the People” in Kyiv? Does Blinken think civilians can be spared in genocide? Will the FBI comply with judge’s order to release its records on Seth Rich?
