Russian Impulses 0
Brian Greenspun, publisher of the Las Vegas Sun, stands aghast at what his headline describes as the Trump you-can-laughingly-call-it administration’s “impotence” against Russian interference in U.

A snippet:
Mr. Khrushchev, stand down your missiles.
Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall.
Mr. Putin, tear down our democracy and we will stand down while you do it.
