It is almost impossible to paint a framework around what's happening with US foreign policy right now, other than it is grievance-driven, fuelled by the idea that the international system takes the US for "suckers" & "losers" and must be fundamentally altered or destroyed. Proceed accordingly.

Elon Musk recently posted that another lawyer and I are “undermining civilization.” He asks if we suffered childhood trauma and suggests we are suffering from “generational trauma.”

Donald Trump is a sociopath who could not care less about the pain he causes. A special thanks tonight to the voters who sent Kamala Harris a message for her pro-Israel views by voting for Trump or staying home.
