Being a historian, people ask me if I think the US is living through Germany 1933.

I answer no, analogies are always imperfect but to me it feels more like Russia 1999: a blatant theft of state assets and liberals in a fugue state, refusing to believe the arc of progress is bending against them.

“I’m the greatest negotiator this country has ever seen.” #TheArtoftheHeel

PUTIN on negotiations:
“Russia will not give into anyone. Russia will not give up its own territory” in peace negotiations—referring to the illegally annexed Ukraine territory occupied by Russia.

Trump threatened not to support fellow NATO members if they haven’t "paid" enough, but did not seem to know that the only time the alliance was actually triggered was to help the U.S.
Trump Still Doesn’t Understand How NATO Works Or That It Fought On America’s Behalf
He threatened not to support others if they haven’t “paid” enough, but did not seem to know that the only time the alliance was triggered was to help the U.S. after 9/11.

I see tomorrow is Friday.

Is Friday going a tariff day, or a some-tariffs day, or a no-tariffs day?

Or will it be some other kind of day, like an annex-Greenland day, or a Hannibal-Lecter-wants-to-have-you-for-dinner day, or an Arnold-Palmer-size day, or something else?

I just can’t keep track.

Why is Musk pushing for elections and “regime change” in Ukraine… but not Russia?

Musk & Trump have no interest in democracy, America’s historical guarantees, rule of law, sovereignty or peace.

They’re siding with a murderous dictator to try and break Ukraine - and Europe.

Damn! Canadians aren’t messing around—they’re even pulling already imported alcohol off the shelves.

We’re being erased, and I don’t blame them.

My sentiments precisely
Would I prefer to live in a world where we don‘t need to spend a penny on Defence? Yes. Do I think I live in such a world? No.
There is a dictator in the Kremlin attacking the Post-war security order in all of Europe, and the US President just blew up the Western Alliance.

As a professor of English, allow me to try, humbly and with the proper respect, to offer an appropriate response to the President’s address:

Fuck you, you fucked-up fuck, and fuck all the fuckers who willingly fuck with you, especially. You can all fuck all the way off, and then fuck off some more.
