The U.S. is ready to draw closer to Russia to weaken China — Politico The Trump administration is considering reshaping its relationship with Russia to reduce China's influence. The White House believes that encouraging Russia to end the war in Ukraine and reintegrating it into economic cooperation with the West could shift the global balance of power in favor of the U.S. Economic incentives and investments are being discussed as ways to bring Moscow closer to Washington. However, in Ukraine and among experts, this strategy is met with skepticism, with reminders that similar attempts in the past have been unsuccessful, and the Russia-China alliance remains strong. Experts believe that at best, limited cooperation can be expected, but not a rupture between Moscow and Beijing.

Millennials are the elite generation because they cranked out 12-page essays the night before they were due. No ChatGPT. No Claude. Just lo-fi beats playing in the background, Black coffee at midnight, footnotes that were somehow correct, and pure delusion. Grade was an A minus. Period.



"Avalik teadaanne", niivõrd kui seda niiviisi nimetada saab. Mul on asjast sedavõrd kõrini - nii sellest platvormist kui kõigest muust elus - et minult enam postitusi ei tule. @uselessbrattle ja @s6idumeerik - aitäh teile vahvate hetkede eest ja parimat edaspidises. Tore oli.

Trump: "I do believe I'll be having the honor of taking Cuba. That's a big honor. Taking Cuba in some form. I think I can do anything I want with it, if you want to know the truth."

Just spoke to @POTUS about our European allies’ unwillingness to provide assets to keep the Strait of Hormuz functioning, which benefits Europe far more than America. I have never heard him so angry in my life. I share that anger given what’s at stake. The arrogance of our allies to suggest that Iran with a nuclear weapon is of little concern and that military action to stop the ayatollah from acquiring a nuclear bomb is our problem not theirs is beyond offensive. The European approach to containing the ayatollah’s nuclear ambitions have proven to be a miserable failure. The repercussions of providing little assistance to keep the Strait of Hormuz functioning are going to be wide and deep for Europe and America. I consider myself very forward-leaning on supporting alliances, however at a time of real testing like this, it makes me second guess the value of these alliances. I am certain I am not the only senator who feels this way.

The MAGA Coalition is shattered Trump can say "I AM MAGA" all he wants, and it may be true, but lost support means MAGA is meaningless
