Welcome aboard, Jon. The world power balance has been transformed. The US and Russia are becoming allied, against Europe and with uncertainty about China. Can spheres of influence be far behind?
Abby, I'm fielding a lot of requests to restart the effort to build a comprehensive opposing media ecosystem to counter the far-right one that is decades ahead. I've told everyone the only way I'll do this is if the effort is well capitalized. That probably means hedge funds/private equity. I can make the business case, and have Millennial, GenX, and GenZ talent ready. Please pass the word around. It will take a lot of money to challenge the right-wing infrastructure on TV, Podcasts, YouTube, Streaming, Substack/blogs, etc.
Capital seeks returns. We can make a good business case that this represents a huge opportunity by using Fox News Channel as an example, and pointing to News Corp's ever expanding presence online. There's a tremendous chasm that needs to be filled.
Thanks for the info on the Russian-speaking/leaning areas and the idea of a peacekeeping force. Hadn’t thought about that, but it makes a lot of sense.

Nope. Not far behind.

Huge capital requirement; is capital ready to do that under current repressive conditions?

Kleptocracy first, then control.
