John Healey, defending the Chagos deal, says: “international legal proceedings could have rendered the base inoperable". Frankly this government completely failed to make this case in a detailed & convincing way—and it remains unconvincing. Many people across gov’t disagreed.

“And there is nothing more Latin American than defensively insisting your country is white.”
The United States must be understood as a Latin American country and Trump must be understood as our first big fuckup caudillo.
God. How is anyone supposed to grade or teach US foreign policy anymore? Trump II is ripping up the trade deal with Canada that Trump I made but also is apparently reconstructing the Iran deal that Trump I ripped up while claiming infallible genius all the while.

The thing about signalgate is we got very unique insight into the administration’s foreign policy process that normally takes decades to reveal, and it reveals they don’t have a process. No theory of victory, no endgame, just bombing because that is the only thing they can think of

I don’t really give a shit how much of a conservative this makes me sound like, but the United States has suffered an existential collapse in the civic virtue of our citizens necessary to sustain a liberal democracy.

I don't really have anything especially profound to say, but yeah man this is it. They won't obey even the most milquetoast SCOTUS orders and are talking about sending US citizens to foreign gulags. It's happened here.

Kudlow: "Buying cheap goods is not a real prosperity, and we don't have to accept that. So you lay the law down, that's all. Look, all the badly behaving children in Asia and elsewhere are coming home to papa. They're all on the phone begging for mercy."

President Trump likely sees little value in leveraging pressure against Putin and instead views forcing Ukraine into capitulation as the easiest path to achieve his goals. He shifts blame on Zelensky, portraying him as the obstacle to peace, to excuse his own failure to deliver on election promises
