I often think Trump&co are less the underlying problem than the most devastating (final?) stage of the grievous disease. What is the disease? I nominate decades of income/wealth inequality that have eroded our institutions, communities, incentives, etc. Billionaire’s actions then are right in line.
Trump/Putin have begun the move to oust Zelensky because he "doesn't want peace" and "Ukraine started the war" and "Zelensky is a dictator." It is clear. Who is favorable to Putin and is waiting in Ukraine to move Zelensky out so Trump can proclaim he did the peace deal?
Putin has signed a law ratifying the security treaty with Belarus. Russia can now officially deploy military bases and troops in Belarus and use nuclear weapons to defend the "Union State," even in response to conventional attacks.
You write, "Putin doesn’t just want a return to the 20th century. He already resides there, and that
is where anyone looking for what could happen next should turn. Specifically to 1938..." Or turn to another year, 1984. Orwell's, of course.
