Russias current borders. Putins Expansionist Nationalism requires military power, but its harnessed the cultural spiritual authority of the russian Orthodox Church, too. My guest, andrey kordochkin, was a russian Orthodox Priest who spoke out against the ukraine war and the putinisation of his church. But is he swimming against an unstoppable tide .

Tonight we will do our best to make sense of this moment. We are all living in together with two very smart and sensible people. Elizabeth warren and jon ossoff are both going to be here at this table and i cannot wait to talk with both of them. First, i want to get you up to speed about where we are right now.
