Luigi discourse is cursed, and frankly a sign of political infantilism

I think people are missing the reality of the growing US-Russian alliance under Putin and Trump. Its not going to force a ceasefire on Ukraine, it will be to help Russia try to win the war. The US is now an active enemy of freedom.

Some commentators have suggested that Trump's administration is less susceptible to Russia's nuclear blackmail than the previous one because he's reckless. He is reckless, but I don't think that's the case.

Autocratic axis vs. the democratic allies

Something is shifting. They are still breaking things and stealing things. And they will keep trying to break and to steal. But the propaganda magic around the oligarchical coup is fading. (1/2)

❗️Trump's team asked Ukraine to withdraw a resolution condemning Putin for waging war. Kyiv was shocked: Zelensky refused, — Washington Post cites European diplomats.

It’s like a modern Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact, with Lavrov as Molotov, Rubio as Ribbentrop, and Ukraine in Poland’s place

The quote is as topical as ever. Why don't we learn...

As a European observer, I find it fascinating that the world has essentially decided that Europe is over. Russia has decided that it doesn't need the European market, consisting of 500 million consumers that need and are willing to pay for Russia's top exports. Only exports, really: Oil and gas.

Russians are under the impression that the USA has their back now, and therefore it has finally become acceptable to talk about the looming Chinese threat. How can Europe use this to its own advantage? Could Europe and China squeeze Russia so that it's forced to get back in line...

Why is the Trump administration *in such a rush* to push the US-Russia deal over the line? a) Screw Europe. American businesses can't wait to return to the Russian consumer market b) The Russian economy is months away from collapse and Poots demands that the sanctions be lifted ASAP
