Gov. Mills showed precisely the sort of integrity in the face of political pressure that the majority of the party currently lacks. More importantly, she did so extemporaneously and without hesitation from a purple state where this isn't a universally popular position. www.maine.gov/governor/mil...

Case in point because perhaps you are not aware of it. It’s actually Poland who bought really lots of Starlinks for Ukraine. Poland pays subscription fees for Ukraine. It’s a business arrangement. Would the U.S. try to cancel it…?

"casually" is the key word here. As @abenewman.bsky.social and I say - www.nytimes.com/2025/02/17/o... - the Trump administration seems to assume there is no cost or risk to weaponizing infrastructure for short term advantage.

If true then the US is now a genuine Russia-style mafia state. Russia extorts with energy-, the US with tech-dependence. I trust the conclusions we draw from this will also turn into a semblance of policy.

It may well be that Trump’s plan has all along been to broker an unacceptably bad deal, so that when Ukraine rejects it with Europe’s support, Trump can say Europe rejected peace and wash his hands off the war and Europe. But it doesn’t matter. What matters is Ukraine’s continued existence.

As it happens, Trump has gone so far off the cliff that Europe isn’t divided but closing ranks. I figured that it’ll become politically difficult for European politicians to try and suck up to him because electorates see what Trump is doing and are very angry. But it’s even better than expected:

If you take Canadian oil out of the equation, Canada actually has a trade deficit, and the U.S. has a surplus — of $58 billion. We supply cheap oil to the USA to ensure North American energy independence, so North America can never again be held hostage by OPEC countries. #Canada #Trump #cdnpoli
