Rumours out of Davos suggesting that Trump will announce a withdrawal of all US troops from Europe. Of course this may just be a case of unfounded speculation. But if it’s correct, the Krasnov operation has been a staggering success.

In international relations, tolerating abuse/mockery does not lead to stability but to escalation. Trump’s approach toward Europe resembles progressive abuse: pressure, public humiliation, and constant testing of limits. The lack of a firm response normalizes and encourages this behavior. 1/2
