1. I live in Australia and am a paid subscriber. And my work involves in-depth and ongoing connection with Ukraine and European affairs, just as much, and to just as high a level, as anyone in the northern hemisphere.
I NEED TO HAVE THE TIME ZONE FOR THE LIVE CHAT SPECIFIED!!! What is it? ET? CT? Pacific time? Mountain time? Hawaii? Outer Mars? How can I possibly tune in without this information???
Furthermore, I already have to stay up half the night just to be there, but I don't get any concession on my subscription. So how about just a minimal awareness that East Coast US does not comprise the entirety of the known world! I think somebody famous once advised us to try putting ourselves in the other guy's shoes…
2. I am also 77 years old, and necessarily a latecomer to the digital scene compared to today's young ones. This means:
a) I don't understand how I can follow and contribute to the chat live: everyone seems to pile in in a mad competitive rush to post questions and prove they are fastest on their feet and crème de la crème of the human race. Everything whizzes by me before I have a chance to think, let alone post something. And I can't sort out the sequences of question then answer; everything seems to get muddled up. Slow off the mark? Tough! Go die quietly somewhere else… Is this a sad, sick Yale syndrome? Just the Normal American pace of life? Dr Snyder's personal preferred way of doing things?
b) I made a suggestion months ago that COULD PROVISION PLEASE BE MADE FOR PRE-POSTING OF A QUESTION? TO ENABLE US OLDIES WHO ARE PHYSICALLY SLOWER AND LESS DIGITALLY TRAINED TO GET A CHANCE TO ASK OUR QUESTION???
We do it for voting, to enable the elderly and infirm. So why not here?
Predictably, nobody took any notice.
Would somebody take responsibility for attending to this, now repeated, request? Draw Dr Snyder's attention to the problem? Keith Wheelock, are you there? As probably our oldest living subscriber (not counting the dead who listen in), can you weigh in here?
I believe I heard you say on "On Point" that Trump would get a "shellacking " in the 2024 election. Did I hear that correctly? If so please explain so I can sleep better at night while continuing during the day to work toward that end.
Is this discussion going to be recorded or a transcript available? Would love to hear your take on the Putin-Carlson situation [although from reading some of what you've written and your Ukraine Open Course at Yale - I have a guess of what you'll say]
How can we push passing support for Ukraine plus let republicans know we have noticed their sabotaging their own negotiated bill. I call my senators and representative 3-4 times a week but they are solid supporters.
Timothy, Can we still not label this as Evil , what Trump and Putin are engaged in along with their followers? I believe that many can understand the concept of Good vs Evil. So I suggest that we recognize it more forcefully.
Please comment: Stephen Kotkin’s formula for “winning the peace” :; Uk-Rus accept cease fire agreement a la SK-NK- US 1953 truce; Bilateral security guarantees a la US-South Korea: Uk-US, maybe then Baltic countries-Uk-US; PREMISES: Ukraine’s current war aims, i.e. victory, justice, reparations, only happens if Uk “takes Moscow”; Crimea is a problem for Uk because it contains 2.5 million post-2014 “ethnic Russians” vulnerable to transformation into subversive insurgents.

Will there be a transcript if we can't attend live? (A first timer here). TY
Assuming EST?
Thank you for this opportunity.
My work commitment will see me at work at that time. Perhaps it is possible to retain a transcript which can be reviewed later.
pls include time zone!
This is UNSATISFACTORY!

Where is the link to the live discussion?

Please discuss the “interview” with VVP and T. Carlson, especially VVP’s assertion that WWII was started by Poland. Thank you. Donna S
Delighted to learn about the discussion. Probably cannot take part today, but during a lull in GOTV postcard writing, would very much like to.
1:35 pm haven't received the notice yet...

Maybe 10:30 am PST. Will look for it.

Please advise your opinion.

Standing by - and hoping I'm in the right spot to see/hear the live thread today!
