So he s clearly referring to the nazi forces that have somehow taken over ukraine with a german excuse me, with a jewish president. so this all needs and knits together quite nicely for internal propaganda con sums. and speaking of propaganda, in the recent days, we have seen evidence of soef jet imagery. we know they re changing signs that are in ukraine. ukrainian to russian. we also know the most senior russian official yet just visited that key city. how are you interpreting those actions? it sounds like they re hand in glove in what you were talking about. there s another piece to that as well. that is the long successfully executed strategy on the part of the russians, which is you have these sort of lump parts of the country that russia sends its
Bridget bink, it is official now. good show producing here. i want to get to something here. there s been a lot of talk about may 9th, victory day. you re a history professor. you know what it meant the end of world war ii for the then soviet union. officials i spoke to say they don t really see that putin would use that day to escalate violence. but they do wonder if he d try to claim a hollow victory, perhaps a hollow progress report. they note, with amusement, it d be hard to have a military parade in moscow when your tanks are blown up in ukraine. what might putin do to save some face? i do think you can always hope you can have a cease-fire, where putin could declare a victory that is not really a victory, but allows sort of a cease-fire line in which there is some control in eastern ukraine by the soef j soviets -,
