WHY NATO DOESN’T NEED AMERICA
I worked for years inside the command structure and it’s barely changed in principle. The only reason there is a SACEUR who is American is because the US supplied the majority of the air and land power and it had nuclear weapons.

How does the two week deadline that Trump frequently gave Putin differ from the one he just gave Zelenskyy?
I'm guessing one meant "this will be forgotten about In two weeks" and the other means "I'm going to twist your hand but I have to pretend that I'm being reasonable".

In the past, the US guarded its neutrality, or fought against the aggressor.
Now it sides with the aggressor against the victim.
Except ... it's not really the US. It's the "man" to whom the US granted executive authority.

The COVID report says that we did "too little too late".
A reminder that Reform's attitude would have been to "do nothing".
In practice, that would have meant doing "less even later". (It would have reached the point where the country was falling apart.)
