There are three clips from the interview. All worth watching and to never forget.
“We are defending a person’s right to live.”
–Volodymyr Zelenskyy

What a brave and inspiring leader he is.
Yes!
And I must say, I wasn’t a fan of Boris Johnson, but he has really stepped up.
Zelenskyy described his frustration about Russian oligarchs evading the impact of sanctions. In an article, Raw Story provides details about the National Association of Realtors.
NAR is led by Patrick Newton. Newton may have formerly been a local Fox host (Tennessee) and a legislative aide to Republican John J Duncan, U.S. House (Wikipedia). Newton cites his success while in the employ of Duncan- got a number one ranking for Duncan with the National Taxpayers Union (associated with the Koch’s SPN network).
Now retired from Congress, Duncan is a contributor to paleoconservative movement magazines. Duncan received a 92% rating from the Family Research Council.
Raw Story (4-11-2022), “US Real Estate Lobby Running Interference for Russian Oligarchs”
From that story: “[I]n the U.S. That’s a key reason that Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen said in December, ‘There’s a good argument that, right now, the best place to hide and launder ill-gotten gains is actually the United States.’”
Of course, they bought Trump properties with cash for a long, long time. But U.S. authorities seem to have no interest in closing down the Trump laundromat.
The New York Times reported this morning that the Saudi investment fund (with $360 billion in assets) invested $2 billion in Jared Kushner’s brand new investment corporation, despite the warnings of its internal staff, which said it was not a good investment.
Payback.
Trump to Bob Woodward on the subject of Saudi Arabia’s Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, after the murder of Washington Post columnist Jamal Khashoggi : “I saved his [bin Salman’s] ass. I was able to get Congress to leave him alone. I was able to get them to stop.”
The Times speculates that the gift of $2 billion to Jared Kushner’s “Affinity” fund was either pay back for good deeds to Saudi Arabia in the past or an investment in the future, should Trump be elected in 2024.
Picture what it would mean to Ukraine’s leader and its people if the 150 university Koch “partners” (Charles Koch Foundation) condemned Koch industry’s continued operations in Russia. As one of those “partners,” the University of Notre Dame could lead the effort.
However, it seems doubtful given Georgetown Catholic University’s hiring of Ilya Shapiro (Koch’s Cato Institute). Btw, an internet search of Georgetown Law and Ilya Shapiro still shows Shapiro, Exec. Director.
Will Georgetown Law faculty like Prof. Edelman update the public about the results of the campus review of Shapiro?
There’s reason for the saying, “all hat and no cattle” to be descriptive of some Americans. Clearly, it does not apply to Ukrainians, fighting for their freedom.
11-21-2017, “Trump really is restoring the Constitutional order with his court picks,” an article by Ilya Shapiro.
Btw- destruction of NATO was also a Trump plan.
Trump’s first Secretary of State wore the Order of Friendship medal, personally pinned on his lapel by Putin.
Guardian, 4-11-2022, “Putin’s war shows autocracies and fossil fuels go hand in hand.”
Tillerson in 2017 implied Ukraine shouldn’t matter to the U.S. He, then, became concerned about Russia’s involvement in Ukraine. Allegedly, Tillerson was fired in 2018, one day after he criticized Russia. Tillerson’s replacement was widely described as Koch’s choice.
