”armies, by and large, reflect the qualities of the societies from which they emerge.” Russia’s state, says Mr Cohen, “rests on corruption, lies, lawlessness and coercion”. Each one has been laid bare by Russia’s army in this war.”-Eliot Cohen

European reaction to the new American national strategy document
The headline, the main takeaway from a European viewpoint is this:
The transatlantic relationship as we know it is over. Yes, we kinda knew this. But this is now official US White House policy. Not a sppech, not a statement. The West as it used to be no longer exists.

I grew up in California in 1970s. The air was brown and stinky and gave me headaches. A lot of people had asthma and low grade lead poisoning. I left at 19 in large part to get away from the toxic air.
I live in California now and the sky is clear and it's easy to breathe.
I don't want to go back.

Sean Duffy on slashing fuel economy standards: "This rule will actually allow you to bring back the 1970s station wagon. Maybe a little wood paneling on the side. We can bring back choice to consumers."

The bottom 90% lost a collective $79 trillion in wages over the past 50 years.
Why? Because the top 1% ate up an increasingly larger share of the national income — so that $79 trillion flowed to them instead of the working class.
The greatest trick of all is trickle-down economics.

Video of the second strike on a destroyed boat seen by members of Congress confirms our worst suspicions, @gregsargent.bsky.social reports.
The notion that these people were ever "in the fight"—as in, making war on the United States—is insane, even more so when describing two men on a capsized boat.

NEWS --> Tons of fresh detail on what video of the strike shows: Rep Adam Smith says two men are sitting on capsized boat, drugs aren't visible. Rationale officials gave for killing is they *may* have been able to keep trafficking.
"It's bad," Smith says.
