Destruction of U.S. diplomacy. So this is how America is made 'great again' and helps in confronting China as the main competitor? I have my doubts about that. www.politico.com/news/2025/02...

Stets brillant in ihrer Analyse: @constelz.bsky.social im aktuellen @sicherheitspod.de! Wer sich mit US-Innenpolitik unter Trump intensiv beschäftigt, konnte von der Rede des Vizepräsidenten nicht überrascht sein. So zu hören/lesen auch in unseren vielen Beiträgen in der @atlantakademie.bsky.social

What puzzles me the most is that many people believe Trump and his administration genuinely have policy change in mind. No, guys! It’s all about disruption, dismantling, and ultimately destruction. The main goal is complete regime change, as @anneapplebaum.bsky.social rightly writes in this piece.

This will be a key moment for U.S. democracy: Will the system of checks&balances prevail? In addition to the Supreme Court, it will depend on Congress and its backbone. Given the Republican majority there & their cult-like behavior, I have an uneasy feeling about it. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/10/u...

Something I bring up again and again. For those who study Russia’s history and politics, the parallels are alarming. Predatory capitalism, privatization of the state, and excessive influence of oligarchs in Russia during the 1990s leave a sense of déjà vu. www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

That was to be expected and most likely factored in by Trump. This Executive Order was—like everything with him—exclusively for his supporters. Now that it is rightly being blocked, he will blame it on the establishment and the deep state. That’s how populists operate. www.cnn.com/2025/01/23/p...

Yascha’s form of “resistance” is reactionary liberal grifting: pretending to fight the far right while you make money off smearing the left by copying far-right tropes.

Donald Trump is demanding NATO partners to spend five percent of their GDP for defense—a level the U.S. itself hasn't reached since the end of the Cold War. I discussed this with dpa. (1/3) www.faz.net/agenturmeldu...

It seems there are a few policy areas where Trump voters might be surprised. Let’s see how forgiving the MAGA base will be with their icon.
