executive producer of the circus on show time, msnbc national affairs analyst john heilemann. john, you are recently back from eastern europe, meetings with leaders there. tell us what you heard from the heads of some of the other e.u. nations. yeah, well, mika, after i left and saw your brother in poland i headed up to estonia to catch the last stop of the secretary of state s tour as he went through the baltic states. so he hit latvia and lithuania on monday and finished up the trip in estonia on tuesday. as you know, you know, the baltics have been you know, for 20 years have been kind of foretelling what is happening now, saying vladimir putin is going to come after us, he is going to do something big. you saw it in georgia and you ignored it. you saw it in crimea and you ignored it, and they were mocked and ridiculed for being kind of paranoid. now suddenly they look
we greatly appreciate. the circus airs on show time. and you can catch the full interview. on sunday and catch a full interview. john under lined something about the weapons, the massive amount of weapons moving from poland into ukraine. there s a lack of proper context in the news, in what americans are seeing and what americans are reading. those shipments, as john said, are obviously done quietly. we don t announce them. we don t invite cnn and fox and msnbc to take pictures of those pictures going in, the massive amount of wen on-s that are going in every single day to help the freedom fighters. but we do have everybody obsessing on 29 old migs and holding press conferences on
aggression, not to expand the war. and, of course, we are trying to help ukraine massively, and we are with the military defense weaponry. this is something that has not been there before. the human suffering on the ground that we re seeing all of this video of the indiscriminate bombings, the whole world is watching with horror. what do you imagine how this ends? it is heartbreaking. i mean we are doom scrolling, you know, our phones all the time. it is like really, and i m asking this question all the time, but what else can we do? but also i mean, you know, is there somewhere, some how putin can back off from this? i mean in poker terms, he has gone all in. so he either win or he loses, and i think for us putin has to lose this war. so, john, before this, this
it moved quickly. remember, a week ago as jon said they weren t talking, it failed talks. then you have guys reporting today and mandatory by sunday. spring training games start next week and as john said all they did was slide opening day back a week. you are getting the full schedule, 162 games so baseball is back. i think we all grew up watching baseball in the same era. we will miss watching a pitcher get hit, go to first base and put on the warm-up jacket as he ran the bases. we will miss that part of the dame. you have dhs in the national league. it will be a different game a little bit but we will play ball. and the good news is for all of the small towns that dot the landscape for minor league baseball from port st. lucie to phoenix, arizona, they will be getting the tourists coming in. there you go. richard, it is very interesting.
