I was flattered and honored to be invited, two years ago, to deliver the 2027 Lawrence Stone Lectures at Princeton University; I was saddened and mystified to learn that Princeton has disinvited me.

Russia is not winning in Ukraine. But the US has used its own war as an excuse to prop up Putin.

Maria Popova is right. Just one more point: Trump is doing exactly what Moscow and Beijing want him to do. You’re not cleverly realigning geopolitics when you just follow the lead of the powers that are united against you. They thought this through a long time ago.
Maria Popova 🇨🇦@PopovaProf
This CANNOT work. 1) the US can't give Ukraine to Ru; should be clear by now US would have to literally invade Ukr to help Ru. 2) if the US helped Ru in Ukr, Ru wouldn't become an ally; it'd simply ask for more of Europe and continue seeing the US as an enemy to be brought down.

The primary cause of the national debt is that the very wealthy don’t pay taxes. Migrants pay their share. The oligarchs Miller fronts for do not.

Stephen Miller: "If all of this theft were stopped, it would be enough to balance the budget. The extraction of wealth from American taxpayers to people who don't belong here is the primary cause of the national debt."

Phillips is completely right here. It is absurd to repeat an obviously false framing. And it is harmful, because once stated in the NYT it becomes credible.
Phillips P. OBrien@PhillipsPOBrien
Very disappointed by the @nytimes framing here. Two allies of the Russian economy had their sanctions lifted, using the pretense of the oil price. Lifting sanctions on these two individuals will not make any difference to world oil prices. Its ludicrous and a gift to Putin

A few thoughts on the Joe Kent resignation and the crackup of the Trump elite. (a video)

He took the greatest military force in world history, lost a war to a middle power in a week, begged the world to save him, and demanded that the media lie about this and everything else. I try, but at a simple human level I do not see how anyone can mistake this man’s almost supernatural weakness for strength. His weakness is something negative, gravitational, so deep that it can draw in a whole country. But only if we fail to see it. Only if we let it.

Please see my essay “Oligarchical
Corridor” where I try to conceptualize all this.

This man did far more fighting for the US than anyone in the cabinet or the White House. And he died one day after being taken to an American concentration camp. One day.

A blockade that causes a national power grid to collapse would be a crime against humanity.

Just kind feels like the people saying the war planners forgot about the Strait of Hormuz aren’t giving Putin enough credit
English
In Europe Ukraine is holding back Russia and thereby fulfilling the entire traditional mission of NATO without any soldiers or sailors from other countries. Trump is meanwhile demanding that NATO allies leave the continent they are supposed to be defending to join him in a doomed adventure he chose in the Middle East.

Please read this important work. I tried to get at the larger issue in an essay called "Oligarchical Corridor."

1. Jared Kushner said that, to prevent conflicts and corruption, he would not raise any funds for his private equity fund during Trump's second term. HE LIED.

‘Mr. Nobody Against Putin’ Director: “This is about how you lose your country — through small acts of complicity: when a government murders people on the streets, when oligarchs take over the media… we all face a moral choice. But even a nobody is more powerful than you think."

Steps in Trump war rhetoric:
1. We don’t have to play by the rules in war
2. We won the war
3. If you go by the rules I just made up we won
4. No fair

If we made the green energy transition this war would be unthinkable and these authoritarians wouldn’t be in power — not in the US, not in Iran, not in Saudi Arabia, not in Russia. Hydrocarbons are killing our freedom and just plain killing us.

Maksym Butkevych, the Ukrainian human rights activist, was held in Russian captivity for more than two years. I had the pleasure of listening to his thoughts about freedom a couple of times recently.
