When Putin came to power, Russia had real elections. They were imperfect, but they were real. Independent TV covered opposition candidates and challenged the official narrative. Political donations didn’t get anyone in trouble. Governors answered to voters of their respective regions, not Moscow.

I spent 10 years in Putin's prisons for the crime of political participation. Now he's counseling Trump about "rigged" elections.
🧵It's not my business to tell Americans how to conduct elections, but taking Putin's advice here is like taking fire safety tips from an arsonist

Da partiet FORs Mariel Leeraand og Glenn Diesen skulle avsløre at pengegaven til partiet ikke kom Russland, forklarte de at pengene kom fra Putin-tilhenger Atle Berge. En mann som i praksis er en russisk oligark 🤷🏻♂️

Trump asked today, why didn’t Ukraine fight back in Crimea in 2014? As I wrote in my book, The War Came To Us, Ukraine’s decision to not fight against Russia’s invasion was largely influenced by behind-the-scenes pressure from the US. Here’s what then-interim President Oleksandr Turchynov told me:

Dersom vi i «kjølighetens» eller «realismens» navn presser Ukraina til å akseptere løgnene som fortelles om dem, vil det til slutt også bli vårt eget problem. USAs behandling av Ukraina er et forvarsel om hva resten av Europa har i vente, enten vi liker det eller ikke.

Trump is the wrecking ball the Russians needed to finally destroy the US, it's trade and defense alliances, giving the enemies of democracy free rein to make territorial gains globally.

This is Marco Rubio explaining how the USA promised to defend Ukraine forever if they got rid of their nuclear arsenal left after the Soviet Union fell.
