They’ll make her into this amazing sagely presidential candidate who, if we had just put all our faith in her and let her lead and be the best Black woman she could have been, then we wouldn’t be in this situation. But that’s just a complete separation from reality."

In our first or second chat on #TheFireTheseTimes I said that my fear for Ukraine is not Ukrainians' resolve, but Europeans' cynicism.

Germany led the way on that, effectively making it harder for Ukraine to defend itself for a long time.
