NYT thinks this is insightful analysis. It's moronic. Yes the victorious allies redrew Europe's boundaries at the end of WWII. But here the US is not a combatant power. It's stabbing Ukraine in the back and hoping to get scraps from the table left by Russia.

I'm glad Pete Hegseth has pledged not to drink if he is confirmed as Defense Secretary. So, I guess he can still sexually harass women, mismanage funds, discriminate against women service members, push for a Christian Nationalist agenda, and be a virulent Islamaphobe?
