Our cover this week.

Donald Trump has committed the most profound, harmful and unnecessary economic error in the modern era. Almost everything he said—on history, economics and the technicalities of trade—was utterly deluded econ.st/3YbbFjq

‼️🚨 BREAKING NEWS 🚨‼️ It’s 900k Day!!! #DailyFella #DailyFellaNews #SlavaUkraini #NAFO

His track record speaks for itself. While we continue to resist, we should take comfort in that he is deeply incompetent, not very bright & his policies are hurting even his most devoted supporters. Let's not get in the way of his inevitable self-destruction.

How can we know that Trump works for Putin: 1. Trump has stopped all arms deliveries, financial aid & intelligence to Ukraine. 2. He calls democratic Zelensky a dictator but not real dictator Putin. 3. He ambushed Zelensky in the White House. 4. He is trying to oust Zelensky.

Trump, Musk & Vance appear to show Europeans how awful the far right really is.

Putin was counting on Trump. He was Russia’s only hope. And Trump is now delivering for Putin.

This is absolutely brilliant!

Here I react to the shameful encounter between American leaders and media and the Ukrainian president. No doubt there were more, but I saw five failures on our side: of hospitality, decency, democracy, strategy, and independence. Please watch and share. snyder.substack.com/p/five-failu...

Dusting off my old Oxford English Dictionary and consulting carefully, I could not find "attack friends and submit to enemies" as a definition of the word "strength."

Cyber attacks are the main way Russia engages us. An important bit of context as we choose an alliance with Russia over historical alliances with richer and more reliable countries who, to state the obvious, do not attack us all the time on cyber.

American statements in the Oval Office indistinguishable from Russian propaganda and celebrated by Russian propagandists.

Idiocracy was a documentary

Neville Chamberlain, to do him justice, never amplified under his own byline Hitler's propaganda against the Czechs

At this stage no one would be surprised if Donald pasted the original Russian text into his tweets.

Democracy is under attack, there's no other way to put it

Finally! We now know the backstory to this classic "Planet of the Apes" ending.

Live look at President-elect Donald Trump in his D.C. hotel room, practicing his inauguration speech.

1/5. The way Trump, Trump Jr, Tuberville, and Hannity are talking now about Greenland, Mexico, Panama, and Canada plagiarizes Putin in 2013, before the first invasion of Ukraine.

Musk is pursuing an extraordinary Blitzkrieg against liberal democracy. The democrats of the world need to stand up against him and swiftly elaborate a strategy how to defeat this plutocrat and racist threat to democracy.

Why do people still act surprised when Russians demonstrate lack of respect for human life? Does anyone really think the state and people who butchered Bucha think twice about letting a few inconvenient civilians crash into the sea?

Everything is wrong with Musk's foreign policy: 1. He supports the worst neo-Nazi party in Europe. 2. He has no business trying to manipulate the German elections. 3. Presumably this would be illegal in Germany. European states need to defend themselves against foreign agents!

Europeans should treat Musk like a rogue state. From @theguardian.com www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Dass ein toter russischer General so viel mehr Aufmerksamkeit erhält als die Tag für Tag von Russland ermordeten ukrainischen Zivilisten, ist nicht richtig.

Russian corporate bond yield index is now a 1:1 inverse correlation with Putin's chances of not being eaten by hordes of starving Russians.

Putin wohnt kostenlos in unseren Köpfen:: „Oh, nicht, dass wir noch zu viel machen, dann wird Putin böse auf uns und beschießt auch uns mit Raketen." Da kann man von den Ukrainern lernen, die den Rücken gerade gemacht und sagen: wir müssen die Angst ablegen. www.deutschlandfunk.de/interview-mi...

"Kherson’s civilians have been, since midsummer, the target of an experiment without precedent in modern European warfare: a concerted Russian campaign to empty a city by stalking its residents with attack drones" www.ft.com/content/31b6...

Not just in Syria

Immer wieder Zwischenfälle in der Ostsee. Russland testet aus, wie weit es gehen kann. Was wollen wir uns eigentlich alles gefallen lassen? Oder wollen wir mal den Rücken gerade machen und sagen - so nicht!

Disgusting barbarians. #NAFO #Fellas

These are the indicative estimates of Russia’s combat losses as of Nov. 29, according to the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

It's just Elon right now

“Only I can fix it.”

People are often surprised when I tell them this: both Twitter and Facebook/insta/threads are now specifically engineered to downgrade, hide, suppress real journalism. If this platform is different, that's a huge change

The Russian Ruble is even crashing against the currency of the country that Russia is liquidating their economy to genocide.
