Indications are that Putin is trying to install a pro-Russian government in Ukraine

Is it time to start speaking about how real is this possibility by citing our own near-miss with Trump?

How about the polling that shows the pro-Putin preference among the right wingers?

And if you think we should be talking about it more openly, who should be the leading voices? Biden and his administration? Congressional leaders? Pundits and activists?




Personally, I think we need to be much more strident in how we talk about their unsuccessful coup, their Putin love, their race toward one party rule. I think it should start with Congressional voices, at least to get the discussion into the main stream.
