1. Kara-Murza is a man of extraordinary bravery.

I also didn't think he'll get out of Russia alive. I think Putin knew he couldn't have another Navalny, which is an indication he knows how much he's been weakened. The thing to wonder now, especially in light of Ukraine's capturing territory inside Russian, is will Putin commit some wild act out of desperation to try to signify he's still in control?

2. Excellent question, especially since Putin is getting desperate, given that Ukraine has managed to enter Russia.

And I agree that those who go against Putin, like Kara-Murza and Navalny, are patriots of extraordinary bravery. Ali Velshi did not expect to see his friend again, grateful that he had him on his show and highlighted his visit to the White House with President Biden. And this also shows the president's expertise in foreign policy.
