Good
1. Ref. Pat Buchanan and the foolish expansion of NATO
2. Historical Context in the middle
3. He didn't mention Nixon once, didn't compare Putin as a Nixon wanna be
4. Didn't blame this on Trump being racist
Bad
1. Saying Putin may be distracting from abusing his people, protesters............. Hello Canada, Australia, New Zealand.
2. Noting Putin's age (69), and questioning his mental health................... WTF, Biden thinks Ukrainians are Iranians measured by the pound
3. Speaking of zealots in American politics who can't stand their fellow Americans, yet to be silent to the punishment and how the unvaxxed have been ostracized, or non left voices are censored.
4. Biden playing chess is smart, what happened to diplomacy Dan always begged for, ignoring the Putins requests have been ignored for a decade
5. Calling on Russian people to depose Putin at the end.
Lazy
1. Using Iran as a symbol for meddling, but not mentioning meddling in the last decade, Libya, Honduras, Syria. Iran was kids play compared to what we do now.
2. No substance. You can listen to the entire thing and have no idea what the points of conflict between Russia and Ukraine are. This is incredibly Lazy. Crack a fucking book already, wikipedia, something. Never mentioned the geo-ethnic differences, the formation of Ukraine, the economic issues. Nothing. Listeners will be kept dumb, walking away with Putin may be crazy, someone stop him now.
3. What was the Common Sense in that ? Stating there could be a new Cold War or Nuclear War ? Everyone knows that.
4. The Cold War theme is tired for Dan. This entire thing is ho hum, like most of his material in the last several years it's really just content. It's sad really, Dan used to stand for things, stimulate thought, think outside the box and talking points of the media. Now it's just lazy content. Hey, but Redditors loved it.
