One week of intense conversations in Kyiv convinced me that Ukraine has no need for Trump any longer.
Ukraine can produce all the arms it needs, but it needs financing, which Europe can and must deliver.
Trump has swiftly ended the time of US superpower.

This chart, from Twitter user @nonagonono, is amazing.

It shows Trump's "reciprocal trade barriers" are no such thing as they ARE NOT RELATED TO ACTUAL TARIFF BARRIERS. Rather, his magic number is half of the bilateral trade deficit (as a share of imports), or 10%.

This is indescribably crazy.

I've followed and listened to you for years now. Appreciate your deep thinking about servious issues and sharing via NYT. BUT we are watching an authoritarian gov't takeover, following an Orwellian playbook, and major media are failing us in calling this what it is. Why?

Remember Me. At the Monument in Washington DC, a large demo was organised to highlight Russia's large-scale kidnapping of Ukrainian children. 600 teddy bears highlighted the plight of kids forcibly taken by Putin's evil regime. www.facebook.com/ukr.embassy....
