Pretty clear. The goal here was to do a kind of ritual humiliation of Zelensky and Ukraine. They pushed Zelensky past his limit. Trump now says, in essence, you're own your own with Russia. Up to the free states of Europe now.

Thread on why you don't hate legacy media nearly as much as you should.

This is my ideology

it’s extremely revealing that the countries most frequently cited as role models by the alt-right are Hungary, El Salvador, and Russia unlike Elon, I actually like America and don’t think we should be importing corrupt governance structures from authoritarian states with a fraction of our GDP

This is money already owed. For work already done. They’re asking SCOTUS to let Trump run the government the way he runs his businesses.

There's this tendency among right wing politicians and silicon valley types to say the dumbest shit and frame it in this "why do you hate efficiency" or other "just asking questions" ways, knowing their bots and (even dumber) followers will just parrot it. 1/

"Amazon deliveries." This is Jason Calacanis, a venture capitalist & prominent Musk toady. And he does not know a big percentage of Amazon deliveries are made by the USPS. I will never get over how stupid the people at the top of US society are.

…and follow this good advice.

Anyone want to wager whether Russia or China would go along with this? Do these illiterates know what happened to the small and medium German states once the Holy Roman Empire was gone?

Read another book, but for fascist tech bros.

Exactly. Elon doesn't care when he lies but he looks like a moron when he says things like the USG doesn't use SQL. And his broccoli boys are so incompetent they didn't filter out judicial or natsec accounts from the DOGE email. These subjunior devs can't write a line of code without Copilot.

So many rich guys living a fantasy where they're freeing children from traffickers even as they back a rapist in the White House who is pardoning sex criminals, gutting CSAM investigations, separating kids from parents at the border and endorsing the mass kidnapping of Ukrainian children by Russia.

The Russification of America

I've commented elsewhere about this but the only candidate in recent history with any sort of valid complaint about the primary process is...Hillary Clinton. 1/

Just as I said, surrendering to Russia makes WWIII more likely, if not imminent, not less.
