Active Measures

THE GIST: A thorough, clear-eyed, jaw-dropping analysis of the rise of Vladimir Putin to the all-powerful position he still holds and the invasive, aggressive actions he undertakes against all enemies foreign and domestic in order to advance his interests and those of Russia. His many connections to Donald Trump, his family, and his businesses make it crystal clear that Trump's time in the White House was all in the service of Putin.

Active Measures is a really well-made documentary that should be required viewing for any American voter from this point on.

It's incredible how skilled a dictator Putin is and it's really alarming to realize how close we came to a real catastrophe here in America.

Hopefully, Trump will never have access to America's political levers of power again, but his influence on the GOP is still very worrisome.

And who knows who Putin is grooming right now for the future.

THE BOTTOM LINE: Absolutely recommended to anyone, no matter your political inclinations. This documentary is a real eye-opener. A must-see.
