A conservative legal expert just eviscerated Trump's Defense Secretary. Andy McCarthy says if the 'kill everybody' report is true, it's at best a war crime. Hegseth's defense is legally incoherent. This is a monstrous abuse of power.

In today’s Vatnik Soup, I’ll introduce a former Ukrainian politician and president, Viktor Yanukovych. He’s best known for selling his country to Russia, trying to turn it into an authoritarian state, and eventually fleeing to Moscow once his plan failed.
