"He parades as a strongman, but in fact he’s weak, weak, weak. In the face of America’s adversaries Donald Trump is, as he might put it, a patsy, a sucker, a pushover. He folds like a pack of cards. He’s a human doormat. A loser." www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

A year ago this month, Trump said he would encourage Russia to attack NATO allies and "do whatever the hell they want" unless allies paid up. We thought it was so important, we ran it on the front page of the @mississippifreepress.org at a time when the New York Times and others didn't.

"Most of the weapons that were actually sent to Ukraine were obsolescing and would never have been used by the United States in a conflict. Instead, they would have been dismantled and thrown away, at cost to the United States taxpayer." snyder.substack.com/p/recoup-the...

How clever of Simon Jenkins to say Russia has “no plans to invade Western Europe” while it is in the midst of its Ukraine invasion. After all, the latter isn’t Western Europe, right? It’s just a “fantasy” according to him. How absurd. apple.news/A-6QqHb95S2y...
