I'm not sure what to make of Bongino after watching the begining of his show Ep 1712. He's called out Putin before as being a bad guy, and I'm sure he's no angel, but in this episode it's about Russia invading Ukraine. I couldn't watch it all as it he about seemed to be a mouthpiece for MSM.
No way he's oblivious to all the shenanigans going on in the Ukraine with his background, but for him to harp on Putin and not offering any conjecture as to why Putin is "invading" led me to think maybe, just maybe, Bongino is "softpilling" people, not quite red, not quite blue, yet arousing people but not fully awakening.
Here's a link to the video I'm referencing: https://rumble.com/vvrbo3-ep.-1712-war-in-ukraine-the-dan-bongino-show.html
Don't get me wrong, I've liked Bongino thus far, although only started listening a few months ago, but this episode has me wondering just where he stands.
Here's my comment on the video:
God bless you and your work brother. Typically, I enjoy your shows but am having a hard time with this one. I've been seeing a lot of things coming out about Ukraine, as well as remnants of past "conspiracy theories". So, what if the Ukraine has been a hot spot for international crimes, money laundering, etc., for the likes of Biden, WEF, and other corrupt politicians. What if Putin's moves are to liberate Ukrainians from the festering swamp there? There's so much subterfuge going on, I don't think anyone can say with any certainty what's happening, but things are more rotten in Ukraine than even Denmark.
I too have been a Dan Bongino Show listener since he first came on the airwaves some 7 or 8 months ago. And I too have heard him over the last few days and thought that he's a bit off-track when he discusses Ukraine and Russia. I don't know if it's that he is not aware of the subplots that we seem to take for granted, or that he believes the MSM narrative....after deriding the MSM narrative for so long.
Where does he get his information, I wonder? I think he even cited a CNN poll recently as if it were valid. C'mon, Dan... CNN??!! Really?!
It may be that Dan is really more politically naive than we knew. I (and we) can discern truths from falsehoods, AND from poor interpretations. I think Dan has done the latter.... taken information from unreliable sources and drawn poor interpretations. He may be just old school enough to think "Russia BAD" and unable to change his paradigm with changing world events.
