A world ruled by force rather than law is a world where no one is safe. That's exactly where this train is heading.

Peut-être qu'on va enfin saisir qu'il n'y a pas de contradiction parmi MAGA entre déclarations isolationnistes et interventions militaires extérieures, car comme pour le Venezuela c'est selon eux un raid policier dans leur sphère d'influence sans crainte d'escalade avec une autre superpuissance.

Interactions with the rest of the world (the term foreign policy implies too much coherence) seem to be being made by people whose understanding of the US's power and influence hasn't moved on in 20 years, and who grossly over-estimate their own competence. That's a recipe for disaster.

The Russian invasion of Ukraine was an ideational watershed. Ideas that have been proven wrong since then:
1) EU can't survive without RU energy
2) US will defend Europe; EU should not have military functions
3) Popper is wrong, total free speech is not a problem for democracies

Covid gave tech workers more power than they’d ever had before and they used some of it to push for better policies on racism and sexism and the bosses got so angry they decided to burn the world to the ground rather than listen to what they had to say
so much of the tech industry's right-wing turn has been because they believe that LLMs will free them from their employees, whom they hate.
I wonder how much of Elon’s fascism is driven by the fact that he fucking hates his employees. Like, SpaceX engineers might have some of the most liberal politics out of the industry, and I imagine it drives him mad.

Some people raised eyebrows when I started using the term the "Trump-Putin Axis" in the sense of reflecting the Axis Powers (Nazi Germany, Fascist Italy and Japan) in World War Two. Eve more 🤨 when I expanded this to the "United States-Russia Axis".

C'est encore pire pour les Européens que les accords de Dayton en 1995, pour lesquels la diplomatie états-unienne avait au moins mis les formes en faisant participer les États européens et l'UE à la conférence de paix puis signer l'accord en Europe à Paris ...
⚡️Europe won't participate in peace negotiations, but its interests to be considered, Kellogg says.
Speaking at the Munich Security Conference, Kellogg mentioned the Minsk II deal of 2015, saying that it involved "a lot of people" but didn't work out.
