Zelensky cannot claim to represent the will of the people of Ukraine unless he restores freedom of the press and stops canceling elections!

In America, we hold a presidential election every four years -- even during wartime. We held an election during the Civil War. We held an election during World War II. Before President Zelenskyy decides to lecture the American President again, he should hold an election too.

Here's my conversation with Jennifer Burns (@profburns), a historian specializing in the evolution of economics & political ideas over the past 100 years. She wrote two great biographies: one on Milton Friedman and one on Ayn Rand. This is a super-technical deep-dive on econonmics, capitalism, and ideas of freedom in general.
Also, at the end of the episode (in the outro), I reflect on my conversation with President Zelenskyy.
The full episode is here on X and everywhere else. Links in comment.

Zelenskyy offered to come to have a chat with @joerogan about the war in Ukraine but Joe refused. He'd rather get the story from his extremely biased pro-Kremlin friends like RFK Jr. and Elon Musk.
And some still consider this man a "neutral. enlightened centrist".

Where was this energy when russia bombed children's hospitals, @joerogan?
Where was this energy when russians killed Ukrainian civilians in human drone safaris?
Where was this energy when russia executes POWs and rapes captive Ukrainian women?
Go fuck yourself.
Vatnik Soup@P_Kallioniemi
Fuck you, @joerogan.

@Leshiy66613 @Not_Sauron_ You're a pointless troll account ...

Mirdania’s unexpected, brutal, & cruel death is the perfect representation of how Sauron regards those around him. He keeps those who are useful near. But you’re expendable once you lose your value, then you’re tossed aside & left to die.

@TheRingsofPower @PrimeVideo And then you woke up and saw the real numbers. Or did you count here all the number of views from YouTube videos criticizing the show?

@CarlaBabbVOA @PentagonPresSec There is no reason other than stupidity and cowardice not to allow Ukraine to fire missiles wherever they deem necessary.
English

.@PentagonPresSec says there are still no policy restrictions that stop #Ukraine from striking #Russian launch sites on #Crimea - that's where some reports say the ballistic missiles originated that killed about 50 people in #Ukraine

If she wants more money for the kid, she should get a job.

@InternetH0F If this is a Twitter story, now she should sue him for touching her.
