Two leaders. Two invasions. One playbook. On February 24, 2022, Vladimir Putin sent Russian armor across the Ukrainian border without a declaration of war, without UN authorization, without a shred of legal cover that wasn't invented that morning in Moscow. He called it a "special military operation.
Trump is destroying our access to information. Not by accident. Not as a side effect. As policy. He is gutting the media—watch the Washington Post if you need a case study—and corroding the shared body of facts that once held this country together. He doesn’t just like
