2. I read on another thread here that he is back only temporarily.

He is returning to Ukraine.

I am glad he is back to at least give some quick interviews.
He is spot on.

3. Yes, he said to Joy Reid that he's only back for 10 days...

I believe he's also taking time to promote his book which came out on July 12th. Stephanie Miller is going to be there to moderate his event, but just found out it's going to be virtual because of "security concerns." He is one brave and very smart guy, I sure hope that he stays safe!

4. Thank you for the info. That makes sense.

Publishers usually want authors to give interviews and do signing tours.

I wonder what the security concerns are? Domestic or Russian?

Yes he is smart and brave. I hope he stays safe.
Seems like he is a person on his toes at all times.
Good.

5. She didn't get specific, apparently just she heard about it

But I just received his book, ordered it when I listened to a previous interview, from Ukraine, when he said he said he really needed for people to read it - he called it "the final warning" so I ordered it right then!

6. A good friend was telling me about MN's book.

It sounds like an important piece of work.

Thanks for the info. "Final Warning" sounds ominous.
But I know he is correct.

The book title is "They Want to Kill Americans: The Militias, Terrorists, and Deranged Ideology of the Trump Insurgency."

I agree with everything he is saying.

Yes it is a very scary time. The white male christian fascist groups have just begun their reign of terror.

Many people cannot wrap their heads around it yet.

9. Even worse, there are those who aren't paying the least bit of attention

They don't do any research into who or what they're voting for, just vote Republican since their Dad voted for Eisenhower. *sigh*

10. I know, there is an apathy, ignorance, detachment from society.

Some of it is what the GOP wants. The relentless ugly, hostile propaganda.
The horrific mass shootings. All the stunts the GOP pulls.
People just feel helpless and not interested.

Some are just willfully ignorant.

11. I don't know what will wake people up, this country is facing the crisis of a lifetime

But people are busy living their lives and don't think it affects them. I regularly ride with a guy to a meeting up north of here and I've brought up issues, but I can see his eyes glaze over. I know he's not a crazy right-winger, he got all his vaccines and boosters, we've talked about that, but when I've asked him about voting, he's just not interested. Same thing with my brother who thinks I'm an alarmist. *sigh*

BTW, tonight's Joy Reid interview with Malcolm Nance is finally available:

12. Thanks for the link, can't wait to play it.

I hope Malcom is correct about Ukraine.

I know, people are in denial and just don't want to hear it.
Or they are ignoring the real signs of what is happening.

Even here, people tell me to get a grip when discussing things.
Reality is a hard thing for people to deal with I know.

13. In the video Malcom says the US insurgents have just begun to fight.

They are hell bent on returning the US backwards to what they consider the real American.
No rights for POC, women, LGBT, etc.

Malcom also says the Russian Army is terrified of Ukraine. And Ukraine will win.
