I have never thought of #DonaldTrump as a smart person, however, I did not think that his incompetence in grasping basic economics and geopolitics is so bad. On top of that he seems to be surrounded by absolute Idiots. Not only will #POTUS fuck off all former allies of the #USA, but /1

The Russian-made Kalashnikov still prevails as the main small arm in Ukraine’s military. A Czech weapons giant is setting up shop in Ukraine’s factories to change that.

The #USA are about to seriously isolate themselves geopolitically. The actions of the #TrumpAdministration are morally despicable and make absolutely no sense for a democratic country. These policies will ultimately backfire big time and cause serious problems in the future. 1/

It's remarkable that there are so few people in #American society who are as vocal and as dedicated to point out the dangers that will follow #Trumps #Presidency. I wish there was more people like @timothysnyder.bsky.social to actively raise these concerns !
Trump's Cabinet appointments are shocking, but part of a plan. We should be wary of shock, which excuses inaction. We have to get through the surprise and the shock to see the design and the risk.
