Summary

James and Al lay out the case for Democrats to stop their internal criticism and infighting going into the midterms. They also welcome 4-Star USMC General John Allen for an in-depth analysis of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, our readiness, and the current threats we face. How is Ukraine fairing? What are the weaknesses of Russia’s military? And how can the USA and NATO help?

Email your questions to James and Al at [email protected] or tweet them to @politicon.
