In the past several weeks, the U.S. leadership has demonstrated explicit hostility towards Ukraine and aligned its rhetoric and policy with Russia.
It’s time to say it plainly. America’s leadership has switched sides in the war. The American people have not, and they should speak up.

I don’t think JD Vance meant to be dismissive of British and French military support in Iraq and Afghanistan. He just didn’t pause before opening his mouth. The people round Trump think they’re the masters of the universe at the moment. I don’t imagine it’ll last.

U.S. President Donald Trump’s negotiation strategy in Afghanistan resulted in a “capitulation” to the Taliban and abandoning U.S. allies. Experts see strong parallels to how he’s dealing with Russia today, writes Andrea Januta.

In the classical world, to claim power over the sea was a clear sign of the ABUSE of power: Xerxes having the sea whipped, Roman plutocrats building over it. I think I know what they would have thought about RE-NAMING it!
