In 21st century US politics, the two most important ongoing stories are:
1) The radicalization of the GOP, &
2) the degradation of the information environment, ie, the death of accountability journalism.
Neither gets a fraction of the attention devoted to, say, annoying woke undergrads.

This is what historian Robert Kagan on what it means for the world.
We’re responding to this crisis as if it’s just another crisis. It’s not. This is it. It’s the political crisis of our lifetimes. And how we respond in the US & UK & Europe is critical.

Ignore the political pundits. They’ve failed us. The media is failing us. Listen to the historians. This is Conservative historian Robert Kagan on what is happening in Minneapolis & what it means for the US…& the world

I’m back to mocking up my own headlines for my newsletter because the press - esp here in the UK - is failing to meet the moment.
We’re now trapped between Russia in the east. And the US in the west. Two hostile states openly seeking to crush us.

The first assumption should surely be this is not a real person or genuine discourse.
