The battle to buy WBD, CNN's parent company, brings to mind what Hungary's PM Viktor Orban did. Taking control of the media was key to consolidating power. He did it in part by helping wealthy supporters acquire news outlets, ensuring favorable news coverage

“Your kids should get less for Christmas than kids have in a communist China.”
Trump: "You can give up certain products. You could give up pencils. Because under the China policy, every child can get 37 pencils. They only need 1 or 2. They don't need that many. You always need steel. You don't need 37 dolls for your daughter. 2 or 3 is nice. So we're doing things right."

The mass deportation of undocumented people was one of Hitler’s largest coercive policies before the war. This set off a chain of events which can give us a useful perspective on where we are now.

I have repeatedly emphasized the danger of further Russian occupation of Ukraine, because it would mean that Russia, preparing for a future war in Europe, would gain not only Ukraine’s infrastructure, but also additional mobilization potential - Ukrainians who know how to fight.
