Must Watch: Siding With Putin

Timothy Snyder, here with Lawrence O’Donnell.

Trump is siding with Putin against Ukraine, just as he famously sided with Putin over the FBI.

And just as — or at least reminiscent of the way that — Charles Lindbergh and the America First Party sided with Hitler in 1938 when he invaded Austria.

And again in 1939 when he invaded Czechoslovakia and Poland.

And in 1940 when he invaded Denmark, Norway, Belgium, Holland, Luxembourg, and France.

And in 1941 (Yugoslavia, Greece, Albania, the Soviet Union) — until Pearl Harbor, when they dropped their opposition to opposing Hitler.

And it got worse yesterday, as I’m sure you know, when Trump explicitly doubled and tripled down.

Signed up for today’s 3pm EDT call?

Tomorrow I hope to make another suggestion.

In the meantime, I hope you can find a few minutes to watch Timothy Snyder with Lawrence O’Donnell.

UNIT

David T.: “I bought UNIT a few years ago after you plugged it.  They had broken off from Windstream as I recall… now they’re proposing a merger with them.  I got the proxy vote email tonight.  Is the merger something that shareholders should support?”

→ My Uniti guru thinks “it’s a winner.”  “After the merger,” he says, “it’s a 12-dollar stock.  I believe it’s being packaged to sell to Verizon or AT&T.”

He doesn’t mean literally right after the merger; just somewhere down the road, in like the next year or two.

Having quite a few shares, I’m hoping he’s right — but only with money I can truly afford to lose.
