The GDP of the richest 7 NATO-aligned countries not counting the US are all greater than the GDP of Russia. Meanwhile the US administration insists on torching its NATO allies in favour of Russia. The art of the deal.

Starlink, Space X, Tesla and X are both economic and political vehicles created not just to enrich but empower their owner. He is an ignorant, racist, rogue, narcissist who supports America's enemies and an anti-democratic, white supremacist agenda. Supporting those companies in any way at all...
