What would Christopher Hitchens say about Vladimir Putin’s invasion of Ukraine? In this satirical reimagining, Hitchens delivers a searing indictment of Russia’s genocidal war, the collapse of Western courage, and the intellectual cowardice that enabled it.
From his imagined vantage point, Hitchens tears apart the excuses of “realists,” the moral bankruptcy of both the far left and the MAGA right, and the hypocrisy of Western governments more concerned with gas prices than genocide. He skewers Putin’s fascism, the propaganda of dehumanization, and the feckless responses that betrayed Ukraine in its darkest hour.
Join us as we explore how Hitchens’ uncompromising defence of democracy and freedom might confront Russia’s crimes—and expose the cowardice of those who still make excuses for them.
