Ukraine’s Narrative Is Beginning to Crack

•
Ted Rall

Politicians and media supporters of Ukraine have repeatedly dismissed reports of Ukrainian troops wearing Nazi insignia and monuments to Nazi collaborator Stefan Bandera as Russian propaganda. Now the facade is beginning to crack. Even the New York Times admits that far-right Nazis are commonplace in the Ukrainian military, which is a problem because it appears to confirm Russia’s “narrative.” The thing about narratives is, sometimes they’re true.

DMZ America Podcast #101: Trump Returns, Biden’s Brewing Scandals, Behind the Pulitzers

•
Ted Rall

As the 2024 presidential campaign begins in earnest, political cartoonist Ted Rall, (from the Left) and Scott Stantis (from the Right) dig into what looks like an 1892-style political rematch, between former and possibly future President Donald Trump, and current President Joe Biden.

Trump appeared on CNN for the first time since 2016, at a raucous town hall meeting that received widespread criticism from liberals and their mainstream media allies. He advised congressional Republicans to be willing to risk default in the debt-limit crisis, signaled that he would reduce or eliminate military aid to Ukraine, and made fun of Jean Carroll, the columnist who won $5 million from a jury that found him liable for sexual battery and defamation. Trump is just Trump being Trump as usual, but what else did we expect? The question now is, will old Trump 2016 win, or will old Trump 2020 lose?

The Republican-controlled House oversight committee has its sights set firmly on the current president, Joe Biden, the First Lady and other members of his family. The first family acquired $13 million from unknown sources a few years ago, and Hunter Biden’s infamous laptop seems to indicate that the money may have originated from covert and corrupt sources in places like Romania, Uzbekistan, Ukraine and China. If the president really accepted bribes and kickbacks from foreign countries, this could be the biggest scandal in American presidential history.

Columbia University announced the winners of the Pulitzer Prizes earlier this week, and with all such pomposity, there’s a lot less than meets the eye to the proceedings. Scott and Ted dish on everything you need to know about how this particular sausage is made, as well as the self-dealing and conflicts of interest on a staggering scale.
