It's hard to over-state how important Trump admin subordination is to Putin, and not just because it hugely increases the pressure on Europe, above all on Ukraine. It's also because it gives Russia much more great power credibility, for which the Kremlin is absolutely desperate. 🧵
Both the Trump and Putin administrations like to think of themselves as hard-nosed realists - leaders in a world where great powers are the only stars that count. But Russia is China's dependent and Trump's US looks increasingly like Russia's junior partner. That's not very great power-like.

Trump will only be more dangerous the more unpopular he becomes and the more cornered he feels.
He and his collaborators will rush to try to implement their agenda and to consolidate their power further.

Trump claims “any document” signed by Joe Biden is “hereby terminated.”
He calls out executive orders later but obviously “any document” would be much broader and include legislation.
(He can’t legally do that but, as always, we get to watch how far he can push this without repercussions)

Moral inversion is a core feature of Trumpism, so this tracks.
Trump entered the Mar-a-Lago ballroom for his Thanksgiving feast to the song “We Are the World,” a song used to raise money to help starving children.
Trump himself has cut aid to address global famine and has fought for the right to cut food stamps from American families.

@telegraph.co.uk have generally been excellent on Russia's invasion, but this is a headline that belongs in the 19th century. The US president can't "hand" Ukraine's land to the Russian president, however much he wants to. Trump can only take a position on US recognition, nothing else.

This is so far into virulent racism, there can be no normalization of this. For a long time, people have said we're on the road to a new Nazi regime. Well, here we are. If you were ever planning to fight violent fascism, the time is now.

At this pivotal moment for 🇺🇦 it’s important to remember that corruption in next door Russia is equally endemic - except there is no independent anti-corruption agency. Putin himself is the ultimate ring leader. Everybody within this corrupt circle is beholden onto him. A position of unrivaled power.

And Trump wants to take millions of people from Ukrainian democracy and gift them to dictatorial Russia.
