The Weakness of a Despot
Featuring Stephen Kotkin via New Yorker
In this wide-ranging conversation with the New Yorker’s editor David Remnick, Stephen Kotkin describes the motivations for Vladimir Putin’s war on the Ukraine, the American and European response to the invasion, and the likelihood of a palace coup in Moscow. Kotkin argues that NATO expansion isn’t the basis for the war, as Putin has charged. Russia’s aggression follows its historical pattern of autocracy and militarism, which are shaped by its geography, self-identity, political processes, and aspirations to stand out as a great power.

Grenell: FBI Committed Crimes During Russian Collusion Investigation
At multiple levels, the FBI pushed the 'phony exercise' forward.
Kamala Harris is Facing One Problem After the Other
As the second in command to a failing administration, Vice President Kamala Harris is not having an easy time in office.
Days ago, the vice president landed in hot water over a tweet that seemed to play into Russian assertions that Ukraine was to join NATO. Harris was widely panned for playing into the hands of Russian President Vladimir Putin and unintentionally promoting his talking points.
Not long ago, the vice president also attracted negative press for how she conducted herself during a press conference in Poland.
In light of these recent events, some Americans might imagine that things couldn’t get much worse for Harris. However, according to Red State, they already have.
Massive Turnover Rates Amongst the Vice President’s Staffers
Earlier this week, CBS News revealed that Harris’ Deputy Press Secretary Sabrina Singh is leaving her team. Singh is heading to work for the Department of Defense and Harris’ replacement deputy press secretary is in the process of being brought onboard.
Singh’s departure marks the ninth staffer to leave the vice president’s team. Before Singh’s resignation, Harris was also forced to replace her press secretary, public engagement deputy director and communications director.
Thus far, there have been no public explanations for why Singh left the vice president’s team. Although, for months, various rumors have surfaced about Harris being a hard boss to work for.
According to reports, it’s not uncommon for the vice president to be demanding or lash out at her staffers during frustrating moments.
Poor Approval Ratings from the American Public
If the vice president’s high turnover rates amongst her staff weren’t problematic enough, her poor approval ratings aren’t working in her favor either.
Recent polling shows that 46% of the American public disapproves of Harris — similar to Biden’s approval ratings.
Previous vice presidents before Harris have maintained higher approval ratings during similar points in their terms. Her negative approval ratings come after a series of foreign policy-related public scandals, along with consistent problems at the southern border.
One year ago, Biden put Harris in charge of fixing the crisis at the southern border. Although, little has changed. Border Patrol agents are still being kept from doing their jobs. Drugs and human traffickers are still making their way over the border, which is adding to America’s public safety issues.
If things continue this way for the vice president, she can expect more problems to come her way very soon; specifically, in the upcoming midterm elections, where her party is likely to lose their control of Congress.

Israeli flag raised at field hospital in Ukraine as gear, teams begin to arrive
17 tons of equipment cross border with staff from the Foreign Ministry and Sheba Medical Center, in preparation for Tuesday opening
Today, 12:52 am
MOSTYSKA, Ukraine – A week and a half after its advance team arrived, Israel’s field hospital in Ukraine began to take shape Saturday ahead of its planned Tuesday opening.
The hospital is being constructed in the small town of Mostyska, an hour-and-a-half outside Lviv in western Ukraine. On Saturday morning an Israeli flag was hoisted to fly alongside a Ukrainian one outside the elementary school whose grounds will be home to the NIS 21 million ($6.5 million) facility.
While the project was touch-and-go for days after the intention to erect it was first announced over two weeks ago, the Israeli hospital has overcome funding and security concerns, bringing its 17 tons of equipment from Israel into Ukraine on Saturday morning over the Polish border. The facility is a collaborative effort of the Health Ministry, the Foreign Ministry, and Sheba Medical Center, which is operating the hospital.
It is being funded by the Israeli government, the Charles and Lynn Schusterman Family Foundation, and the American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee.
While 10 outdoor tents were erected by Ukrainian teams and Israeli supervisors over the course of last week, crews from Sheba Medical Center now have three days to build out the hospital’s patient care, laboratory, pharmacy, and logistical support facilities.
The first two of six large trucks were on site with Foreign Ministry and Sheba representatives early on Saturday when The Times of Israel visited the nascent hospital.

“Everything has a sticker and is marked with a color, so we know where it goes,” said Yehuda Katzora, a Sheba administrator who is managing the hospital rollout.
“Today, we’ll unload all of the trucks, and we’ll start to put everything into the hospital by Sunday night,” Katzora said. “We’ll do finishing touches on Monday and open on Tuesday.”
“It will be ready by the time our core staff comes, our doctors and nurses,” he promised. They are set to take off from Israel on Monday morning.
The field hospital is expected to serve Ukrainian refugees and locals, and train local medical teams in telemedicine and field medical care, according to the head of Israel’s mission to Ukraine, Simona Halperin.
“There’s equipment here that they’re not familiar with,” added Katzora.
According to Katzora, the facility’s medical staff — many of whom are Russian and Ukrainian speakers – come from across the Israeli medical system, from different hospitals and health funds, as well as from Magen David Adom. Staff are expected to do two-week rotations at the facility. Currently, the hospital plans to operate for a month, with an option to extend.

The hospital will operate under the name “Kohav Meir” (“Shining Star”), after former Israeli prime minister Golda Meir, who was born in Ukraine and was the founder of the Foreign Ministry’s Agency for International Development Cooperation aid program, which is leading the field hospital project.
“I feel a sense of mission, from many perspectives,” said Katzora.
“It’s incredibly emotional to run the whole logistics side of things. It’s a very complicated operation, with coordination with several bodies, including UPS [who transported the medical equipment], El Al, the Foreign Ministry, the Health Ministry. It challenged everyone to give everything and raise a hospital that will be one of the best in the world, in terms of its capabilities, contents, and medical team.”
Alexey Tsiboulski, a Sheba logistical manager who arranged the equipment and then flew to Poland last Thursday to await it, said preparing to operate inside Ukraine posed particular challenges.
“We had to make sure the equipment arrived intact. After all, it’s a warzone,” Tsiboulski said, adding: “And it did.”
Tsiboulski also shared that the weather — significantly colder than the Israeli climate — posed a significant logistical challenge. Mini stoves will heat each of the field hospital’s 10 tents.
Additionally, rather than rely on local communications networks, the hospital team has brought along two satellite dishes to control its own access to patient records and lab analysis.
Tsiboulski, who grew up in the former Soviet Union, said: “I’m really emotional. I walked into the school building [adjacent to the outdoor hospital] and it reminds me of one I studied in 40 years ago.”
“The tables, the chairs, imagining the students sitting in them,” he added. “To come here and help the Ukrainian nation, I didn’t even think twice when they asked, I wanted to come and give a hand.”
The field hospital is located in Mostyska, a sleepy town just 15 kilometers (9.3 miles) from the Polish border crossing, and 70 kilometers (43.5 miles) from Lviv. It was chosen in collaboration between the Israeli and Ukrainian governments, with an emphasis on the security of the 80-odd contingent of medical and operational staff that will run the facility.
“We had to balance between giving help and not endangering staff,” said Halperin.
A smaller field hospital organized by American aid organization Samaritan’s Purse, located in the parking lot of a mall on the outskirts of Lviv, has had low demand so far, said a doctor at the facility. “We haven’t had a lot of patients yet,” she said. “[But,] the war is not here at this very moment.”
The Israeli operation expects to be busy “within a few days,” said Katzora.
“We don’t know how many people will come, but we know a lot are interested in it,” Katzora said. “I think two to three days after we start to work, there will already be many people here.”
Hunter Biden’s Laptop Is Finally News Fit to Print
The press that ignored the story in 2020 admits that it’s real.

Talk about burying the lead—for 17 months. The New York Times has finally acknowledged that Hunter Biden’s business dealings are legitimate news. Implicit apology accepted.
The Times waddled in this week with a story on the “tax affairs” of the President’s son, including this gem in the 24th paragraph: “Those emails were obtained by The New York Times from a cache of files that appears to have come from a laptop abandoned by Mr. Biden in a Delaware repair shop. The email and others in the cache were authenticated by people familiar with them and with the investigation.”
You don’t say. This admission comes six months after a Politico writer published a book that also confirmed that the laptop emails were authentic. But the original scoop belonged to the New York Post, which broke its laptop story in October 2020—only to meet a media wall of denial and distortion.
Rather than attempt to confirm the emails, nearly all of the media at the time ignored the story or “fact-checked” it as false. This in-kind contribution to candidate Joe Biden was all the more egregious given other evidence supporting the Post’s scoop. Neither Hunter Biden nor the Biden campaign denied that the laptop was Hunter’s. And Hunter’s former business partner, Tony Bobulinski, went public with documents backing up some of the laptop’s contents.
The herd of media conformists also echoed the speculation of obviously partisan “intelligence officials.” Some 50 of these officials—headlined by former Obama spooks James Clapper and John Brennan —circulated a statement peddling the Russian “disinformation” line—even as they admitted they had no evidence.
This result was a blackout of the Hunter news, except in a few places, including these pages. Twitter blocked the Post’s account for nearly two weeks, and Facebook used algorithms to quash the story. This deprived voters of information they might have wanted to know before Election Day.
There’s more for our reborn media sleuths to investigate. Mr. Bobulinski provided these pages with documents showing Hunter was looking to use the Biden name to profit from a business deal with a Shanghai-based company with ties to the Chinese government.
One May 2017 “expectations” email from Hunter associate James Gilliar shows Hunter receiving 20% of the equity in the venture, with another “10 held by H for the big guy.” Mr. Bobulinski says the “big guy” is Joe Biden. To this day the Bidens have not had to explain their business arrangement.
The emails make clear that Hunter was cashing in on the Biden name, including as a board member of Burisma, a Ukrainian gas company. That influence-peddling was a potential political liability for Mr. Biden, which was why the facts deserved an airing before the election. They are still relevant, especially with U.S.-China relations so fraught.
The Times won a Pulitzer prize for pushing the Russia collusion narrative, which proved to be much ado about nothing. The New York Post deserves a Pulitzer, but it will probably have to settle for well-earned vindication.
And:
The best fake news of the week. watch till end.
