After scuttling a months-long search for a new host, the Paramount Global network said it had enlisted Jon Stewart, who presided over the late-night mainstay’s most popular era, to serve as its host on Monday nights throughout the 2024 election cycle and to run the program. He is expected to oversee the program through 2025. Various “Daily Show” correspondents will host the program Tuesday through Thursday nights, and Jen Flanz, the current executive producer, will continue her duties on the show.

You really seem misinformed. Wagner has more association with nazism. Even Putin's right-hand man, his modern Rasputin if you will, is a literal dyed-in-the-wool neo-nazi who wrote the plans Putin is literally carrying out.

Russia's invasion of Ukraine is of no difference than Hitler's justification to invade Poland "for ethnic Germans."

At the end of the day, the Jewish leader Zelenskyy who lost family in the Holocaust, disrupted the sockpuppetry that was originally taking place in Ukraine. As the war continued, the remnants of corruption have continued to be weeded out, though still some remain.

You really seem misinformed. There are Nazis in Russia, nobody said there weren’t. But Russia didn’t absorb the Nazis into their government and state apparatus, gave them leadership positions in ministries etc.

And Nazi Germany invaded Poland because of Lebensraum, basically German Manifest Destiny. Russia invaded Ukraine because of NATO and the color revolution in 2014.

Yes Russia did, what are you smoking? I just told you Putin's right-hand man is a nazi. You just ignored that conveniently lol. RT, the Kremlin mouthpiece, spouts nazi propaganda on the daily.

What absorption of nazism in Ukraine are you talking about and when, specifically?

No, Russia didn't even Ukraine "because NATO," considering Ukraine wasn't in NATO and intentionally didn't join to stop Russian aggression. Yet Russia did so anyway.

Ironically the DEFENSIVE Alliance that is NATO would've saved many lives of women and children from the brutal Russian invasion because Russia knows they'd get demolished by NATO.

You are clearly drinking far too much Russian vodka, my friend.

Finally, please learn your history regarding WWII:

Hitler sought to use this as casus belli, a reason for war, reverse the post-1918 territorial losses, and on many occasions had appealed to German nationalism, promising to "liberate" the German minority still in the Corridor, as well as Danzig.

But you're right: this was just a convenient excuse. Just as Russia is using it as a convenient excuse for their own sort of Lebensraum, basically Russian Manifest Destiny. Or wait -- did you not read Putin's 5,000 word essay where he spells this out...?
