Average US tariff rates rose from 2.5% in January 2025 to 27% by June 2025.

The rules-based order that governed trade for decades is collapsing.

The WTO is sidelined, alliances are fraying, consumers are gouged, and every country is on edge.

Russia is so desperate for any win that they are claiming that US relations are returning to "normalcy".

Despite their ally Maduro's capture.
Despite the US seizing a Russian tanker.
Despite ongoing massive sanctions.
And despite about a dozen other things.

"Normalcy". Sure.🙄

If you needed any proof here it is as the 'mighty' Syrian government is kicking russian troops out of Syria.

Update from @bereza.cz - 3h ago:

That info is outdated now it is about €5.2 milion. I think without medial support, from Tomio Okamura, we wouldn't be able to make it this high. The more Tomio is expressing unwillingnes to help Ukraine, the more we send.
Czech donors from the "Gift for Putin" foundation have raised over €4 million to purchase generators for Ukraine. This was announced by the President of the Czech Republic on his official page.

What was it again Gas Gerd said about Mordor:

Nothing unusual. This is how the Russian army punishes those who refuse to go on a meat-grinder assault.

The president should be impeached and convicted, as should everyone responsible for these outrages. ICE should be disbanded. So should the Department of Homeland Security. And the people who have killed should be investigated and brought before judges and juries.
We have to see the logic of the killings as well as the killings themselves. The horror is a truth in itself. But it is also a sign of a political logic, one known from the totalitarian regimes of the twentieth century.

“In Russia’s war against Ukraine and against Europe, we cannot hope that the White House will act as an ally, but we can seriously fear that it will turn into an adversary.”
In this 161st long-read on my blog, I seriously consider the hypothesis of the US becoming a hostile power.
I show how everything contributes to this, establishing a link between the domestic scene & the international arena.
