This is CBSi in the world. I'm John Bachelor spending a moment to think about

NATO and the European Union and the threat felt because of the Ukraine war but then

there is this other detail. There's an election imminent in Russia. Mr. Putin is running again for president, which is about as close to being a dictator as you can get right now.
