It is absolutely right that we do not need Greenland (or Canada) for natsec reasons because they are already close NATO allies. So the only rationale to turn the US into an aggressor in our own hemisphere is if you don’t plan on NATO being a US alliance in the future.

It’s clear from this that the only difference between Steve Witkoff’s and Vladmir Putin’s views on the war in Ukraine is that Putin actually knows the names of all the five Ukrainian regions he wants to keep.

Musk is rich because you gave him $38 billion in tax money to make that.

He is happy to tell you what you don’t need.

He’s also picking a side in foreign policy, and it’s not our side

European leaders need to free themselves from the delusion that rational arguments will have any effect on the MAGA White House.

They are not rational. MAGA is a cult of personality fueled by weaponized lies. They speak only the language of power. Europe must speak it back.

In today’s Vatnik Soup, I’ll introduce how the Elon Musk’s Election Interference Machine™ (EIM) works. Since Musk and his broligarch allies won the presidency for Trump, they’ve now harnessed the machine to interfere in European elections, including the ones in Germany and Romania.

I’m in Munich and people keep asking me to decode Vance’s speech. OK: In Vance English “free speech” means “Let Musk run your elections” and “democracy” means “let Russia run your elections.” Now move on. 2025 is about what Europeans do, not what Americans say.

A Trump-Musk memo telling US government employees to hide what’s happening from the public is a sign that:

1) Public legitimacy is a constraint for them, they know it, and will at times alter their behavior accordingly

2) Reporters should focus on it, revealing more of what they’re trying to hide
Awful: Internal USAID memo instructs employees to refrain from talking to the media about cuts in assistance to the most vulnerable or they may get fired, WaPo reports.

Trumpworld knows this is a big political problem for them. Keep the focus on it.

JD Vance along with the rest of the Trump administration is on a mission to subvert liberal democracy in Europe. JD’s outlandish rant at the MSC was a stunningly overt admission. The perverted definition of “free speech” is MAGA speech for unlimited manipulation!
JD Vance in Munich: "Speaking up and expressing opinions isn't election interference, even when people express views outside your own country and even when those people are very influential ... you guys can survive a few months of Elon Musk."

If European leaders fail to do anything significantly, tangibly useful to advance Ukrainian victory in response to the Trump Administration, then they have zero right to complain.
