In this instance, standing up against and defying the United States of America is the morally, geopolitically, and strategically right decision.

Having watched with growing alarm the developments of the last 24 and 36 hours in Washington, I thought I’d take a stab at how the US media would cover this story if it was happening in a foreign country. Here’s that story that should be written this weekend: www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/musk-s-jun...

You just know Putin is the type to have a video played on screen before the missile hits thanking Prigozhin for identifying weak links in the chain and cheerfully informing him a fix is being implemented as they talk.
