impossible, to unite even when faced by a serious threat. such as a war, political commentator, an rti contributor lauren chen gave us her take on how things got to this point. political division in america is at an all time high right now, and it is no secret that by and large the corporate press are not fans of conservatives. after all, they have been calling them not season white supremacists for going on 5 years now . and perhaps it is because the rhetoric against republicans was already so strong that now leading up to the 2020 to mid term elections. and yes, even 2024 general elections. it seems like the new way to demonize, anyone who would dare to support donald trump is not just by calling them ideological extremist as we've been seeing. but to actually go so far as to imply that they are physically literally dangerous and an actual threat to democracy. and if you think that's just hyperbole, check out this op ed from the washington post in his piece. our constitutional crisis is already here, writer robert kagan lamented that quote, the united states is heading into its great

you can watch the full interview on rti international on friday at 8 30 am moscow time. but here's a quick tracer. what was discussed. it is more important in my view, important than ever that switch that you are, the united states and russia develop a constructive relationship. because i think if we can do that and i'm hoping we can it, would me better for the whole world? my goal is always to try to explain russia better than many americans know it, that i don't mean better could, but simply more completely than they do. and that's what i did. and that's why i wrote the books i've written because americans, alas, there are many americans who don't know much about you, aren't countries? i definitely in beneath ortho, humanizing it each other in a town, his eyes and well, it's not legal, you're very human. you tremendously healing and i think it's a wonderful thing that you can help americans wit, for many reasons. i believe that we need each other more than ever. now that just my feeling, it's important that you and we are able to exchange our different talent. despite
