Came back from the freezing protests against the dictatorship in Georgia. I had promised myself that I would try to incorporate some basic life into my life, otherwise I might just collapse. So here I am, nearing the final episode, hating both Camille and Gabriel.

This military purge is about Trump installing loyalists in every senior role, just as he filled his cabinet with sycophants and enablers willing to carry out his dangerous and illegal orders. This won’t end well for our country.

None of this has anything to do with effectiveness, or “lethality,” or promoting “warfighters," or any other buzzwords. It is praetorianism, plain and simple, and it is an assault on our military and our democracy. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

Hi All, sent out this post yesterday. Trump’s transactional’ foreign policy is not hard-headed or realistic, it will probably weaken the USA. But that might be the point.

A reminder that the US spent USD 0.35 out of USD 100 on Ukraine, the most major war in Europe since WW2. It’s just above Bulgaria which couldn’t fit in the screenshot. Anyone pretending Ukraine had a toll on the US is lying at worst and uninformed at best. www.statista.com/statistics/1...
