Is Putin Facing a Legitimacy Crisis in Russia?

Charlie welcomes Adam Korzenewski, former Trump treasury official and national security and military expert, to unpack the truth about Russian strengths and weaknesses. Charlie and Adam discuss some of the most critical questions surrounding Russia's invasion including: Is Russia really throwing its best shot at Ukraine or is it still holding back? Was it prudent to remove Russia from SWIFT? Why is Ukraine outperforming Russia in the propaganda war? Is Putin facing a legitimacy crisis back home at the hands of his billionaire oligarchs that help run the country? Finally, Charlie plays the tape back from Hillary Clinton and Mitt Romney calling on "consequences" for American conservatives who they contend are "Putin Apologists." Charlie dismantles this narrative the left is attempting to propagate in order to divide the conservative base. While Putin remains universally hated, Charlie unpacks the deeper truth that goes beyond binary 'good vs. evil' movie plots the media so readily adopts about much more complex geopolitical realities.
