Having lost any adequate expertise on Russia, Washington seems to be completely devoid of understanding of Ukrainian realities. Occupied Crimea is not Alsace, which we can talk about later. It is basements, torture, electric shock, rape with rubber truncheons. Like everywhere in the occupation. 1/2

🧵 THREAD: A federal whistleblower just dropped one of the most disturbing cybersecurity disclosures I’ve ever read. He's saying DOGE came in, data went out, and Russians started attempting logins with new valid DOGE passwords Media's coverage wasn't detailed enough so I dug into his testimony:

Those trying to understand the tariffs as economic policy are dangerously naive. No, the tariffs are a tool to collapse our democracy. A means to compel loyalty from every business that will need to petition Trump for relief. 1/ A 🧵 to explain his plan and how we fight back.

I know this first hand. When I was a child, my entire community was branded as spies and sabateurs, justifying our internment inside barbed wire camps for years without due process, trial or charge.

The whole interview is so extreme that even the hard right AfD in Germany would not (yet) dare use the race-baiting rhetoric (for strategic reasons, not that they disagree). No more denying: There is a hard right leadership in the US aiming at empowering rightwing extremists in Europe.

"Can a fair-minded reporter flatly describe the president as corrupt and a threat to America itself? Are those facts?...I say, “Yes.” Calling Trump corrupt and a threat to America are not opinions. They are objective statements of fact." - blistering from veteran political correspondent John Harwood

Being a historian, people ask me if I think the US is living through Germany 1933. I answer no, analogies are always imperfect but to me it feels more like Russia 1999: a blatant theft of state assets and liberals in a fugue state, refusing to believe the arc of progress is bending against them.

The war, the geopolitical uncertainty and the new arms race started by Putin have left Europe with no choice. Europe must be ready for this race, and Russia will lose it like the Soviet Union 40 years ago. From today, Europe will arm itself more wisely and faster than Russia.

Vergesst die Erzählung, dass die USA sich von Europa abwenden oder aus Europa zurückziehen. Das Gegenteil ist der Fall: Trump, Musk und Vance haben Europa als Hauptgegner identifiziert – nicht geopolitisch, sondern ideologisch. Sie führen einen Kulturkampf. Gegen uns. 🧵👇1/8

And there it is. Putin’s lifelong dream. After years of relentless Russian propaganda, now fully embraced by the American president and the world’s richest oligarch, millions of Americans are convinced that this is a good plan because Europe is an enemy and Putin is our friend.
