US - The CommentaTHOR

Why are Democrats so undisciplined and Republicans so regimented? The asymmetry explained Chuck Schumer couldn’t hold his senators together at a time when their unity and toughness were essential. Yet Trump cracks the whip and gets all Republicans to do his bidding. Does this mean Schumer should go? Yes. But the problem runs deeper — […]

In New York, an immigrant socialist was elected mayor, in New Jersey and Virginia, female Democrats became governors, and in California, a regulation on changing electoral districts was adopted. In the USA, on November 4, there was, as we would say, a single day of voting. In the USA, this is called the election night […]

I don’t feel commenting any longer, because I constantly feel preempted by mass media and the mainstream politicians. It was simple a while ago. You look at the news with your cynical Russian eyes trained on Soviet nonsense, you recognize the same type of clap-trap, and you mock it. Not any more! No matter how […]

Democrats are talking about authoritarianism and suspect misappropriation of funds. Large banners with a portrait of President Donald Trump have appeared on three federal buildings in Washington, D.C. The National Guard’s checkpoints, which continue to serve in the capital, add a sense of severity to the image (with Trump squinting grimly in the portraits). Democrats […]

Charlie Kirk (and the youthful part of MAGA that he represented) was one of those rare US politicians with whom it was possible to establish normal relations on the basis of the protection of traditional values. The fact that no steps in this direction have been taken so far (on our part) is due to […]

Elbridge Colby is the main “culprit” of the cessation of American arms supplies to Ukraine. The US Deputy Secretary of Defense for Policy, Elbridge Colby, is believed by the “hawks” in Washington to have pushed through the decision to stop the supply of certain types of weapons to Kyiv without consulting other members of the […]

Netanyahu says victory opens path to expand Abraham Accords. However, it will not “change the face of the Middle East” anytime soon. Billboards advertising the idea of creating the “Abrahamic Alliance” (AA) have been actively put up in Israel. The idea of the alliance is based on the existence of a common ancestor of the […]

In unity, there’s strength to confront Trump. In disunity, cowardice. Why didn’t the nation’s top 20 law firms sign a friend-of-the-court brief against Trump’s vindictive executive orders? What their associates, coming associates, and law school deans ought to do. Let me first congratulate the 504 law firms that have thrown their support behind Perkins Coie […]

In December 1987, Mikhail Gorbachev and Ronald Reagan held their 3rd summit meeting in Washington and I covered this event in a group of Soviet reporters. While there, I got a call from CNN. They invited me to take part once again in Crossfire nightly TV program. (I was their regular guest during my stay […]

Friends, from time to time I burden you with some personal stuff, based on my belief that our values begin with who we are and where we came from. So today I want to get very personal and tell you why I’m so short — a condition that led to lots of bullying and ridicule […]
