Slowly coming to terms with the idea that authoritarianism might well be good for Americans to experience firsthand. In order to appreciate what they had.
Without this painful chapter, America would probably never be able to extricate itself from its culture of dispositional greed.

I concur. Trump's adversarial approach toward allies over Greenland, is rooted in his desire to establish closer economic & strategic ties with Kremlin.

‼️Think of Trump “sudden” plan on Greenland, go back a month & see where it comes from.
It’s not to protect from russia, it’s to join them.
“Dimitriev pushed that US & russia should join to exploit the Arctic’s vast mineral wealth”
They used Trumps favorite bait knowing the greedy pig would bite👇🏼

It was about making U.S billionaires & russian blood money “friends with benefits”.
Not for the sake of “peace”

Not for Europe.

On days like these, you realize how good it is that winter in Ukraine lasts only about three months. These are the very months when the russians want to break people’s spirits in the cities, knowing that the elderly and children will suffer from the cold first.

Anyway if you read a Russia analysis that doesn't center siloviki class interests are one of the driving engines of the Russian state and policy, you're not reading a Russia analysis
Why do the Russians seemingly love the Tsar and hate democracy? Well, millions of them are hereditary members of a state-protected group that are guaranteed stage jobs of the 'go beat up your neighbor and extort them a bit' flavor. Democracy is counter-indicated to their class interests.

Half of Kyiv — almost six thousand high-rise homes — were left without heating in Kyiv after the russian massive attack.
It's minus 8 degrees Celsius now going down to minus 17 tomorrow night (!)
Could you imagine half of your city getting frozen by the terrorist state?

I cannot fathom why 4 successive PMs failed to be transparent about the need to increase taxes for defense. And guess what? Strengthen the army by fivefold. ASAP!
We are literally on the brink of all-out war, yet everyone still acts as if war is something that happens elsewhere. To lesser beings.

Witkoff and Kushner met with Dmitriev Wednesday to discuss the US peace plan, and the US wanted a clear response on it from Putin.
Last night, another war crime: the Russians killed a medic in a double-tap strike on a Kyiv residential high-rise.
Is that response clear enough??
