Trump can't steal the midterms.
I say that not as a call for complacency, but to right-size worries. Authoritarianism partially exists in our heads. Excessive fear plays into their hands.
Be vigilant but don't panic. Don't grant the regime more power than it actually has.

People need to understand what happened strategically in 2025. The US switched sides, helped Putin a great deal, which also encouraged the Chinese to help Putin. And Ukraine fought on, inflicting massive casualties on Russia and taking the war to the Russian economy.

The Norwegian Government ordered a stop in trading with Russian assets shortly after the full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022. The goal was to divest, but today - four years later - the Pension Fund still owns shares in 46 companies listed on the Moscow stock exchange.
