In attesa che il lardoso metta dazi anche a noi, come fa giustamente rilevare Fubini, è falso che gli USA siano in deficit commerciale con l’Europa e il motivo sono i servizi delle Big Tech che godono di alti profitti e bassa tassazione. Se si dovrà rispondere, bisogna farlo dove fa più male

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...

I have covered presidential politics for 40 years. This was the most juvenile display by a President and Vice President I have ever seen. Other presidents treated their enemies with more respect. This is a low point and a dark day for the US. Totally embarrassing.

Trump is negotiating a surrender of Ukraine with #Russia, our ENEMY. An ENEMY that is strengthening its ties with US adversaries while pursuing better relations with Trump. Moscow leverages diplomatic engagements to reinforce its Ukraine invasion narratives, securing vital military economic backing.

Americans proposed that Ukraine concede half of the profits from its mineral rights in perpetuity... in exchange for essentially nothing. This is not a monetary proposition, let alone a "deal," but rather the demand that Ukraine become a permanent American colony. snyder.substack.com/p/recoup-the...

Dopo l'editoriale contro la richiesta di Donald Trump all'Ucraina sulle terre rare, il New York Post mette la bandiera ucraina in prima pagina e indica al Presidente americano chi sia il vero dittatore: Putin. Un duro colpo di verità da parte di un giornale storicamente repubblicano e pro Trump.

I'm tired of hearing all the European leaders "standing with Ukraine." Stop standing. Stop talking. Your continent is being invaded by an enemy intent on destroying you. The Russians will rape you, torture you, and murder you if you don't act with force to stop them.
