For anyone wondering why Donald Trump refuses to criticise Putin, while hectoring Zelenskyy, here is my piece about the US president's 1987 trip to Moscow. Trump's visit was arranged by the ... KGB.

This was the end goal of crypto aligning behind Trump - the crypto economy has very few actual dollars in it and relies on finding new people to hold the bag to get their dollars. The US government is the ultimate bag holder and they’re going to use your tax dollars to bail out crypto owners.

Andrei Kurkov in The @theguardian.com: Trump has had his way. He has transformed Ukraine from a subject into an object, and after this White House humiliation some Ukrainians are convinced that the extraction of rare earth metals on Trump’s terms would turn our country into a “colony” of the US.

Here I react to the shameful behavior of American leaders and media toward the Ukrainian president. No doubt there were more, but I saw five failures on our side: of hospitality, decency, democracy, strategy, and independence. Please watch and share. snyder.substack.com/p/five-failu...

Yesterday's event in the White House might be what tipped Norway to actually dig into our financial reserves. Looking at Norwegian media this morning, there are indicators and the pressure is increasing.

Please. No more speeches in the Senate about “freedom” until one Republican has the guts to stand up to Trump’s lies about Ukraine & Putin. Ukraine did not start this horrific war. Russia did. Zelensky isn't a dictator. Putin is. The US must not enter into an alliance with Putin.

I agree with Carville that we're about a month or so away from a larger collapse in Trump's support. They badly misjudged why they won the election—grievance politics isn’t a viable governing strategy. Most Americans don’t like what they’re seeing from Washington right now. Buyer’s remorse is real.

As it happens, Trump has gone so far off the cliff that Europe isn’t divided but closing ranks. I figured that it’ll become politically difficult for European politicians to try and suck up to him because electorates see what Trump is doing and are very angry. But it’s even better than expected:

If we, Europeans, fail to spend big on defence now, we will be forced to spend 10 times more if we don’t prevent a wider war. As the Polish PM I’m entitled to say it loud and clear, since Poland already spends almost 5% of its GDP on defence. And we will continue to do so.
