clearly we have a lot of disputes ongoing with vladimir putin, most notably ukraine. if donald trump had a conversation with latimer putin and he was encouraging him to weigh in with the republican party in congress to weigh in against giving aid to ukraine that could be a violation of the foreign agents registration act because he would be lobbying on behalf of a foreign government. i do not know about the content or if the authorities are aware of this and what might be done about it but clearly, donald trump is somebody who is addicted to flattery and vladimir putin is a master manipulator and knows how to flatter donald trump. again, the fact that bob woodward reported this is not surprising it is not confirmed but, it is clear that donald trump has an agenda here as does latimer putin. this is the most important presidential race for vladimir putin because the first u.s. presidential election since the invasion of ukraine. this is really an exercise to challenge two vladimir putin to try to salvage something out of that ruthless and brutal aggression in ukraine. d

but who is vladimir putin? vladimir putin is the adolf hitler of our century. the invasion of ukraine is the equivalent to what hitler did, trying to take over a country that's free and doing that and hundreds of thousands people have died in this war. this this is a war. for what purpose? it is for the purpose of vladimir putin. saying going back his i mean, you you what he writes what he says. it's it's really that somehow ukraine doesn't exist. well, of course it. oh, it really be a part of. so i'm going to take it and invade. and there's scenes in the book before the invasion where the intel agents, people in the united states and in the biden white house, they're saying wait a minute. this is crazy. not going to do this. and people going back and forth, rightly so. is this possible? of course he did it. he and he is now put maybe think of all the terror and war in the world. what's going on in the ukraine in vision is so serious. one of the things i did in the reporting is talk to the president. duda and geographically, there's poland and then ukraine and
