The Musk-Trump regime escalates the hybrid war the United States is waging against Canada. It has repackaged the russian terrorist state's "biolabs in Ukraine" propaganda lie, now presented as "fentanyl labs in Canada." These lies are the lead up to attempted annexation and war.

Highly recommend this piece from @sandertordoir.bsky.social on how Europe can exploit its industrial strengths in the Trump era. Success will depend on Europe's willingness to steer demand away from China and toward "made-in-Europe" production. foreignpolicy.com/2025/03/07/e...

🧵 This is a perfect example of what I've be describing as disordered discourse, and it's threat to democracy. Politicians are afraid to speak openly about key issues. Why? Because disordered discourse has captured the system itself—forcing obedience, punishing dissent, and making truth irrelevant.

All military aid from the U.S. to Ukraine from 2014-2024 has cost the U.S. tax payer $19.94 per person per year. In return they got to destroy Russia’s entire Soviet equipment inheritance and still complain it is a bad deal

🚨🚨 Brave contender for speech of the year. Every word of it rings true to me. Claude Malhuret is a proper role model for European politicians in these chaotic and existential times for Europe. Take 8 minutes of your time and listen carefully. It is worth it. www.youtube.com/watch?v=QIK9...

I finally understand what the last week reminds me of. A much bloodier and cynical replay of 1994, when Russia and US teamed up to force Ukraine to sign the Budapest Memorandum while ignoring its request for guarantees. But if in 1994 the US had the excuse of being naive, now it is pure malice.

Hi All, I released the first part of my weekend update early (it’s all free) because what we are seeing is so extreme it needs to be said now. The USA is now openly admitting to helping Russia kill Ukrainians. Indeed, Trump seems to be enjoying it. open.substack.com/pub/phillips...

The Trump-Putin Pact already exists, and we should act accordingly. There are some things we will never change with nice words or smart clothing. If you are worried about those things, you should understand where Trump's tactics come from. From Russia. A thread. 🧵1/14

Russia’s leaders have said nothing about peace. They have made a list of demands on the US, the fulfillment of which allows them to broaden the war against Ukraine. And the US simply fulfills all of these Russian demands without question. That is only a peace process in the Orwellian sense.

Some thoughts from Brussels. Europe is awoken and believes America is all but gone. As such huge efforts on defense funding from EU, Germany, and others. This is real. BUT... Europe is still not reckoning yet with its major structural security problem: No one does European defense. 1/

'...what’s happening in the US right now is some sort of weird hybrid of the kind of power grabs we’ve seen in the tech industry, combined with a more traditional collapse of democratic institutions. The destruction is far more systematic and dangerous than many seem to realize.'

Tucker Carlson is now repeating unfounded allegations that weapons sent to Ukraine are ending up with groups that include Hamas. The Hamas claim originated from a fake BBC-Bellingcat video created by a Russian disinformation campaign mimicking news organisations and was debunked months ago.

What we’re witnessing in America is what happens when disordered discourse captures a political party, then the state itself. The Republican Party was the first to fall - abandoning truth for conspiracy, ideology for grievance, and policy for performative outrage.

Here's an idea: invest in European defense sector stocks - they're bound to do well for the next few years - and donate what you earn to Ukraine. That's my plan.

Trump and Vance needed to create an incident to provide a justification for their pre-planned abandonment of Ukraine now, then separation from NATO in the near future. That’s what that was all about, and that was always the way a second Trump term was going to go.

Russia does not want to end the war, and the Trump administration has shown no ability to induce Russia to end the war. And so, predictably, the Trump administration blames the victim, blames Ukraine.

The United States appears to be in violation of the Budapest Memorandum which disarmed Ukraine of nuclear weapons in exchange for security guarantees. The agreement signed by the US in 1994 specifically prohibits economic coercion against Ukraine.

Wait. It gets worse: "The new document states that the revenues will be directed to a fund in which the United States holds 100 percent financial interest, and that Ukraine should contribute to the fund until it reaches $500 billion....The US has allocated $119 billion for aid to Ukraine."

Here’s what we are reading today: The U.S. seeks to control not only Kyiv's rare earth minerals, but also ports and infrastructure, oil, gas and 50% of mining revenues. The plan demands a higher share of Ukraine’s GDP than Germany’s WW1 reparations.
