Sergey Mardan weighed in on a poll that found that one-third of Russians would be fine with nuking Ukraine. Mardan disagrees with them—not for humanitarian reasons, but due to his genocidal, imperial belief that Ukraine does not exist and is part of Russia.

True. Esp apparent to an American who’s lived in places where ‘oldness’ is not despised or feared and generations mix freely. Where spaces contain 80 year olds and 50 year olds and 25 year olds and no one doubts that all could have a good conversation.

Everybody needs to see this quote, understand that this is what Project 2025 is about, and internalize the fact that this is what the Republican Party is doing.

This is not a conspiracy theory from the left. They are saying it out loud.

1. This, from a former Biden staffer, just shows that some people haven’t learned any lessons from the last eight years. It’s also an insult to the many people earnestly expressing concern about Biden’s candidacy.

Reminder that POTUS can direct the DOJ not to prosecute the trigger puller and, failing that, pardon anyone who carries out his order and still faces federal charges. Utterly lawless.
