There is speculation that Putin’s overreach with the invasion into Ukraine could be his downfall. What would a post-Putin Russia look like?

Anyone who says Donald Trump was always tough on Vladimir Putin is wrong. They’re gaslighting you, and we have the receipts to prove it.

A Fox News cameraman and a Ukrainian producer were killed in Ukraine.
Pierre Zakrzewski was “fearless and an incredible journalist,” says @CalNBC.
And local producers like Oleksandra “Sasha” Kuvshinova, “they’re able to work with us while their country falls apart around them.”

Are we over exaggerating what Putin is willing to do if NATO imposes a No Fly Zone?
“We may be, but then we may not be,” says @IvoHDaalder “That’s part of the problem.”

Iraq, Bosnia, Libya. How did Western-backed No-Fly Zones play out in the past? As calls grow for one to be imposed over Ukraine, @mehdirhasan looks back at earlier NFZs and how Ukraine is different.

Yes, there *are* some white supremacists mobilizing for Ukraine as foreign fighters.
But “this does not mean that that propaganda coming from Putin about ‘denazification’ [of Ukraine] is in any means true,” says researcher @milleridriss. “This is a minority issue.”

Vladimir Putin's claim that Ukraine needs "denazification" is a bad-faith rationale for his war.
But we *do* need to talk about Ukraine's far-right white supremacist groups, says @mehdirhasan... especially now that NATO nations are moving loads of weaponry into Ukrainian hands.

.@mehdirhasan: "Shouldn't we be taking in more Ukrainian refugees, *and* basically looking again at our entire border refugee border policies?"
@RepJasonCrow: "Yeah. The answer is undoubtedly yes. There's just no other way to talk about this."

If Russia succeeds in conquering Ukraine, where does the country go from there?
@RepJasonCrow says it won’t happen.
“They’re gonna try to conquer and actually occupy a country the size of Texas with over 40M Ukrainians — they can’t do it.”

There sure are a lot of “useful idiots” parroting Russian talking points on American TV.
But, as @mehdirhasan points out, “This is how bad the propaganda is: They can't even keep their ridiculous conspiracy theories consistent.”

“I don’t think the bombs which are landing actually are discriminating between Jews and non-Jews.”
@Refaelkruskal runs a Jewish orphanage for Jewish kids and doesn’t think much of Putin’s claim that he wants the “denazification” of Ukraine.

Imagine the courage it took this Russian TV producer to interrupt a live broadcast with a sign reading “NO WAR.”
Watching that video, @mehdirhasan says, is also a reminder not to blame all Russians for what is happening in Ukraine.

In 1989, the Chechen capital of Grozny was a vibrant city of 400,000.
In 2002, after years of Russian shelling, the U.N. declared Grozny “the most destroyed city on earth.”
@mehdirhasan recalls that tragedy, and asks: Is this the future Putin wants for Ukraine?
