Julia Ioffe knows what it’s like to live in non-Democratic Russia and thinks Americans should view this crisis as a glimpse into this country’s future if Democracy is not protected here at home. Read more of Julia’s work at http://www.puck.news. #Colbert #PuckNews #JuliaIoffe
I disagree with her on the refugee point.
ReplySo this show is just “right bad, left good”
Replyha! and they laughed at me when I said 1/2 jokingly: “Wake me up when they invade Poland!”
ReplyHer analysis is good and real. Intense times ahead, alas!
ReplyThere is a view from people with expertise on this in the UK that the sanctions have come ina bit too late . But we will see
A paper here online made the mistake of a headline Instead of Ukraine being invaded it said UK . Normally people would laugh it off but it freaked a few people out .
I can’t imagine how Eastren Europeans feel
ReplyPoland in the Balkans ? News to me
ReplyCan someone remind me which country is always outside its border and everywhere in the world?
ReplyThe United States is the number one country that doesn’t stay within it’s borders.
ReplySo when u guys invade Iraq… Did anyone sanction you guys or is it different when u guys do it?
ReplyShe forgot to mention the possibility of an uprising of the Russian people, another possible Russian revolution.
ReplyBrexit at heart wasn’t about immigration. It was just used as a tool to get people to vote leave .
The true reason was to avoid the new tax and regulation rules that were coming in . They didn’t want the EU looking into our tax havens and the city of London .
Helped by guess who ?
ReplyYou all forget the Chinese dragon in this equation.
And the future conquest of Taiwan. Evil Putin examines the world and the Western response for the sake of the Chinese evil empire !!! If the world does not wake up today.
He will wake up to a terrible morning under Chinese imperialism !!!!!
ReplyEverything she says about Putin relates to NATO as well
ReplyShe’s right about how they rarely stay within themselves. Wars will affect citizens of other countries too. Remember civilian flight MH17 shot down by a bunch of pro-russian guys? We remember.
Replybest case scenario: Putin faces 1917 like demonstrations from russian hungry mob dragged in a Char-war
ReplyIf the European and American macho nationalists want to prevent a flood of foreigners, perhaps they should fight the wars on the turf where the foreigners would come from.
Reply(unless they’re just lazy, infantile, entitled poseurs)
This was a sobering and discouraging interview and now I’m really depressed. I keep wondering when will Evil men like Putin, Xi, Kim Jung Un and Trump just f-ing die off? How are we supposed to progress as a species with violent a**holes like this in the world, dragging us back into the dark ages?
