I had just started writing about Putin’s mind war when I learned there had been another mass shooting. This time on the campus of Michigan State University. My podcast partner Jim Stewartson, who’s been taking heat all day by calling out tankies - the left side of the Kremlin-simps’ horseshoe so-named after Stalin devotees all too eager to “send in the tanks” - was the first to alert me.
