Cenk do you realize when you say FAKE NEWS or when you say you all politicians are corrupt or when fighting with people who share 99% of your vision you are really assisting Trump in his quest for autocracy. When DOGE 1st started you said the chain saw approach was wrong and the reforms should have been done with a scapple but in the last few months your rhetoric and vitriol has shifted to the bull in a China shop approach. That is the same approach the SDS did during the Vietnam protests. Not a good thing if you want real change instead of total destruction.
I agree with your position on Israel. It will take the entire world community to condemn them .
Now Ukraine is a completely different story . Ana’s peace at all costs approach is short sided extremely short sided
Lets look at the facts Ana said the sanctions did not work yet the Russian economy is at a snails pace and stable commodities are in short supply. The one thing that could bring Russia to its knees is cut off their oil. Yes Ana that would cost others to pay a higher price at the pumps but if it buys a lasting peace is it not worth sacrifice.
Putin’s goal is resurrect the USSR plain and simple. Unless he is made to pay a very significant price for his aggression he will just retool his military and attack Ukraine or any country in a few years. It is his history.
My main problem with TYT is never airing different views from the hosts opinions.
If TYT really believes in Operation Hope and Joy or the Rebellion pact or the Populist Plank they much change their strategy from one of destructive combat to one of peaceful protest .
He believes he’s entitled to a do-over of the Soviet Union. It’s in Europe’s hands at this point. Even if Trump gets impeached, we will still have an isolationist policy with Vance. The US is on the sidelines in this matter until 2028. Europe will have to provide security guarantees and provide access to better weapons. They would have liked if the US joined them in helping, but with the Dem loss, that’s over. They have to stop being squeamish about escalation, Between the administration and many (though not most…) voters seeking an isolationist position, Europe has to now go big or go home. Stop the delusion that the US will have their backs -we are for the moment a gangster country, until there is a possible housecleaning (which looks like it won’t be coming from the corporate Dems…)
Prior to Pearl Harbor Americans had a very isolationist mentality . Well that attitude cost many more lives and costs than if America had been proactive. And after WWII we allowed Stalin and those who followed to take what territory they wanted. Very costly once again. Putin must be stopped now and made to pay a huge price for his aggression or Americas costs will be much larger than ever before.
Preaching to the choir! I am just assessing the likelihood of turning around ignorant Americans vs. just finish the job now, Europe.
Russia is not in great shape; their loss in Libya and their losses in spite of Trump’s putting his thumb repeatedly on the scale for them, Europe should not be afraid to act. Will they suffer losses? Probably; but it’s a decision they have to make now…
