Since not a day goes by without someone saying I’m “just another big account that doesn’t say what to do.” I’ll once again say what I think you can do.
1) 30 states have local/state elections starting in Feb. Get involved/run.
2) Join a special issue group like civil rights, abortion or immigrant

Having been assigned in Europe for 12+ years, I saw a lot of classified intel & experienced a lot of interaction w/ Putin and the Russian military.

The Russian government is a mafia. Europeans know it & we keep failing to understand it. They don't "negotiate."

Putin & his army must be beaten.
