decade is also because until very recently, until the last two weeks, many in the west simply did not acknowledge that what russia was doing was important or not important enough or dangerous enough or damaging enough to warrant our attention. only now has russia got our attention and the genuine danger that russia opposes is now presenting itself to the west and finally people are beginning to think about what is our long term strategy towards russia, a realistic one, and how we can deal with them in the future. one, and how we can deal with them in the future- in the future. ultimately, how does this end? is in the future. ultimately, how does this end? is it in the future. ultimately, how does this end? is it a in the future. ultimately, how does this end? is it a concession - in the future. ultimately, how does this end? is it a concession on - in the future. ultimately, how does this end? is it a concession on both sides? i this end? is it a concession on both sides? . ., .
um, after what we re watching is, i think, what can only be described as a snap-taliban takeover of almost all of afghanistan, except the capital region, as yet. and we don t know if that snap takeover is permanent or semipermanent. but it is proceeding with lightning speed. and because of that, that has led multiple countries to activate contingency plans. multiple countries that had long-standing deployments in the long war there are now acting on an emergency basis to salvage what they can and to rescue who they can. canada, great britain, germany, norway, denmark, all countries taking emergency steps right now to evacuate their citizens and personnel. to evacuate, and then close or at least temporarily shut their embassies. it s not just us. it s essentially all of our allies, who served alongside u.s. troops in afghanistan over the long war. the first contingent of u.s. marines returning to afghanistan to evacuate u.s. embassy personnel. that first contingent of marines
polling on this, wolf, it tells a different story. we had a cnn poll last month that showed 83% of people with support codifying into law the d.r.e.a.m.er act, daca, and letting d.r.e.a.m.ers stay in the united states on a permanent or semipermanent basis. the polling really tells a different story. how successful was the white house today for allowing cameras in for that nearly one hour meeting in rebutting the narrative we got from this explosive book fire and fury by michael wolff? i think about the phrase associated with bush, which is the soft bigotry expectations. look, he can hold a meeting. he s not crazy. i guess that was successful. but i think one meeting on camera which was mostly theater, i think anyone who has been in any meetings knows that meetings of 25, 30 people never solve

if we look at brain development, we apply it to nonviolent offense. is that the same argument for a 16 year old who commits murder and rape. already the juvenile court has a way to take care of people who shouldn t be held in juf noil court. most get tried as adults, if you raise the age to 21, they could have a semipermanent. it doesn t mean that everyone stays in the juvenile court. and that is a good point. what is the benefits if the state of connecticut moves forward. what is the benefit to the state and community. i was commissioner of probation in new york city. there is a stark difference; the courts and police and probation treats juveniles and adults.
