Hello, today I am re-launching my Substack. It’s now located at mtracey.net. (The internet gods recently decided that having “Substack” in your URL was no longer permissible in terms of social media visibility.) Regular posting will resume — I have a huge backlog of what I can confidently say is some pretty interesting stuff. I’ll also be contributing semi-regularly to Newsweek, and perhaps some other publications. I’ll probably also add some additional features to the site. Please try to contain your excitement.
Delighted to know you've broken free of yet another throttle and we have more of you soon! My only hope is for Tucker to ask about Free Press w Julian Assange, Ed Snowden & Gonzalo Lira.
It's a fair question. My own take is no, Russia is not "better" off. Taking on a fight with the whole NATO war machine was bound to involve unforeseen setbacks, as well as expected ones. One very positive thing is that she has been forced (by sanctions) to take up domestic manufacturing and services instead of relying on buying from foreign producers. That, with increasing military spending has allowed her to not only defeat the sanctions, but to outpace the NATO countries' economic growth.
I think Putin thought Ukraine would fold at the beginning and sue for peace, with favorable terms for Russia. Instead he found out how insane the Empire has become and has no choice but to eliminate Ukraine as a militant NATO allied threat on its border. And prepare for the worst.
Glad you are back. Agreed makes no sense to not interview Putin. I'd wager Politico would interview the leader of Hamas if given the chance or even leadership of Iran. Neither of which would imply support of the interviewees, but it might still be true!
TC should ask VVP when he plans to turn over the presidency to a Millennial who will accept cultural defeat, waive the pink and blue flag, and host the Billion Trans march signaling a pivot to the human mono-culture of interlocking networks called for by his subject A. Karlin. https://akarlin.com/soypill-manifesto/
It's nice to see you back.

Welcome back Michael. Can't wait to read what's been rolling inside that head of yours.
Russia cannot abide Ukraine becoming a NATO member full stop. Period. Ever. Consider article 5 if this is confusing.

Like the church lady, my question is the best.
“Could it be Satan?”
I shared this post on my own Stack!
Welcome back Michael!
