John,

A little over three years ago, Russia launched its brutal invasion of Ukraine. Now, with Trump bending to Putin and Russian aggression, it’s more important than ever to learn from the past — and fight for the future.

My twin brother, Alex Vindman, and I blew the whistle on Trump’s coercion of Ukraine 5 years ago. It ended our military careers. But that didn’t stop me, and it hasn’t stopped my brother.

Alex just released his powerful new book, The Folly of Realism: How the West Deceived Itself About Russia and Betrayed Ukraine. Unfortunately, it couldn’t be more timely and accurate.

As a supporter of our pro-democracy movement, I want to give you the chance to be one of the first to get a copy. Everyone who contributes $50 by March 7, 2025, will get a copy of the book, and the first 500 donors will get a signed edition.

Alex isn’t just known for his testimony that led to Trump’s first impeachment — he has spent decades in national security, advising on U.S.-Russia strategy at the highest levels. He was the director for European Affairs on the National Security Council, served as the Political-Military Affairs Officer for Russia for the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, where he wrote the Russia strategy, and as an attaché at the US Embassies in Moscow and Kyiv. His book reveals profound truths about the mistakes the U.S. repeats, how Western leaders enabled Putin’s aggression, and provides a path for the U.S. to recapture moral leadership.

John, Trump is throwing out countless dangerous lies about Russia’s invasion of Ukraine to his benefit. He’s gone as far as to blame Ukraine for the war, declaring that Russia has “won” Ukrainian land, and calling President Zelenskyy a dictator.

Trump is trying to rewrite history and distort the truth of the catastrophe Putin has caused in Ukraine. But we must hold truth to power, and it begins with each one of us knowing what happened, understanding what went wrong, and learning lessons we must learn to prevent further catastrophe.

Defending democracy starts with knowing the truth. If you want to stand with us, chip in $50 dollars by March 7, 2025 to receive a copy. If you are one of the first 500 donors, you will get a signed edition.

Thanks for continuing to stand by our side. Together, we will fight to ensure democracy prevails.
