Team Trump has concluded that it is hopeless to compete with the Chinese on greentech — the race is already lost.
Therefore they are doubling down on fossil fuel based tech at home, while geopolitically bullying other countries to stay on fossil fuels rather than switch to Chinese EVs/renewables.

Many friends asking what it is like in Minnesota right now. This video-clip tells. Masked men w/ guns in ordinary places (gas stations, grocery stores, cruising streets) intimidating ordinary people & instilling fear. As a terrorism expert, I think about the logic of government instilling fear.

Permanent members are no longer just blocking the UN. They are dismantling its core restraints on the use of force.
ITAMAR MANN argues that when the Charter cannot discipline its guarantors, remaking the UN becomes unavoidable and institutional imagination urgent.

Several aspects of the Minneapolis shooting uncannily resemble events in Israel. Only one of them is that persons involved seem to be proudly posting self-incriminating information.

Speaking with the pro-government Channel 14, Lt.-Col. Amit Yagur explains that Israel’s recognition of Somaliland is part of Washington’s Project Sunrise to transfer Gazans.
Yagur is retired, has no official capacity, but had served as the deputy head of the Palestinian arena in the Israeli Army.

The Economist makes it look too much like the refusal to withdraw from Syria is in the name of all Jews. It's time for media to understand that there is no such thing as "the Jewish state". Israel is a state that defines itself as much, but that is not more and not less than its self-definition.
