Godt sagt om handel av Glenn Agung Hole i DN: «Trumps siste tollutspill – mot EU og Apple – er ikke økonomisk politikk. Han bruker handel som pressmiddel, ikke for å beskytte amerikansk industri, men for å fremtvinge ettergivenhet.» www.dn.no/innlegg/toll...

I wrote this before the Oval Office performance, but really, there is nothing to add. It's all still true.
Putin planned to take Kyiv in three days, but he couldn't take Kyiv in three years.
