The human cost of Trump's gutting of USAID: By the time Tor Top’s mother was sick with cholera, the nearby clinic had been shuttered for weeks. He bundled her into a canoe & paddled toward the nearest hospital, 8 hours away. Less than halfway into the journey, his mother died.

Also, the new National Security Strategy of the USA is now meaningless document. It is the basis of the US position in the Ukraine-Russia negotiations. Its about the US getting the best deal possible for Putin by putting all the pressure on democratic Ukraine.

"Then in just the last week, the Ukrainians executed a military operation that pushed the Russians back about twice the distance as it had taken the Russians to advance in more than four months. It's interesting that this story has not yet appeared in the New York Times.'

My perhaps naive theory is that the Trump administration and their replicants abroad have misread polling that says people are concerned about immigration to mean the majority shares their slavering hunger for unlimited, gleeful performative cruelty.

The reason we don’t sell H200, and other advanced chips to China is that they have dual-use (military and civilian) capability.
These will help China improve their AI, surveillance, and cyber espionage capability.
The export controls existed strictly for NatSec purposes.

Trump is doing everything he can to accelerate the end of US hegemony, while actively helping China and Russia.
He is a true traitor to the United States, and the China hawks who voted for him were played like little children

What the US is doing to Europe it is also doing to its one time allies in the Indo-Pacific. There is one rule of action for the US government now. If you are a democracy, you will be abandoned; if you are a dictatorship, you will be praised and supported.

And I give one detailed example of how the con worked; the Tomahawk missile BS. The Trump administration went to great lengths for a while to pretend there was a chance that Trump would send Ukraine these missiles--AND THERE WAS NO CHANCE AT ALL. It was a sadly effective con.
