Russia has been at war with Britain for years and the EU referendum was an open goal which they exploited. That doesn't mean that "Putin made Brexit happen" but his troll farms and media operations certainly played a part Brexiters may hate to hear it but to deny it is to deny a dangerous reality.

Trump's brain is mush and his party is about to get wrecked in mid-terms. In about 3 months time he'll be so sucked into existential battles in US domestic politics that pretty much everyone outside America will ignore his strategic brainfarts

The Putin regime's entire geopolitical strategy hinges on Trump and MAGA hacks ruling the US over decades when there are signs building of such a massive backlash against Trumpism in American society that it has the potential to viciously savage everyone associated with Trump

Or an alternate possibility is that as with every previous supposed breakthrough between Russia and the US it eventually falls apart due to Trump's mush-brained ineptitude and binds Russia closely to a US President who is reaching Yeltsin levels of unpopularity among Americans

NEW FOIA Files newsletter is out! A newly declassified State Dept audit I obtained via #FOIA found that more than 200 programs to counter Iran-backed groups were deeply disorganized, scattered across the agency, with no clear leadership or a coordinated strategy www.bloomberg.com/news/newslet...
Doc says: Finding A: Department Efforts To Counter Iran-Backed Groups Were
Decentralized and Lacked Strategic Guidance
(U) OIG identified more than 200 Department efforts with direct or indirect links to countering IBGs, including work done with interagency partners. However, OIG found that the Department employed a decentralized approach to countering IGs that relied on general goals and objectives in higher level Department and national strategies-such as the NSS and JSP-to inform individual efforts to counter IBGs, rather than goals and objectives with a specific focus on countering these groups. This occurred, at least in part, because the Department did not have a Department-wide strategy to guide its counter-IBG efforts. Although officials stated that higher level Department and national strategies provided sufficient guidance, OIG determined that those strategies did not provide adequate details. Specifically, the Department's strategies did not include Foreign Affairs Manual-recommended elements, including agency roles and responsibilities, interagency coordination mechanisms, desired results, and milestones and performance indicators specific to IBGs. Moreover, the Department did not designate and authorize a bureau or office to lead the Department's collective counter-IBG efforts. As a result, counter-IBG efforts executed by the Department were not always effectively coordinated or communicated among 12 Department bureaus, 7 overseas posts, and 7 interagency partners.
Without a comprehensive strategy to counter IBGs, individual efforts lacked common direction and focus, and OIG was unable to assess whether the Department's efforts to counter IBGs

NEW: The head of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops has issued a statement firmly condemning plans to livestream the execution of Nidal Malik Hasan. Archbishop Paul Coakley calls the decision “a barbaric promotion of a culture of death and must be reconsidered.” www.usccb.org/news/2026/us...

WASHINGTON - Yesterday, the U.S.
Department of War announced that the firing squad execution of Nidal Hasan, the man convicted of killing 13 people and injuring 32 at Fort Hood, Texas in 2009, would be publicly livestreamed. Archbishop Paul S. Coakley, president of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops issued the following statement sharply condemning the decision of the U.S. government:
"It is with shock and great sorrow that I have learned of the Department of War's decision to publicly livestream the execution of Nidal Hassan. Our God is the God of life. In no way can Hassan's actions be condoned but this decision is a barbaric promotion of a culture of death and must be reconsidered. The word of God exhorts us: 'do not repay anyone evil for evil' (Romans 12:17). The public execution even of one who has done grave harm will only further undermine the moral fabric of our nation and be a blight on the conscience of its people.United States

This goes against the intuitions of a lot of older people who were socialized into the party alignment of the 1970s-1980s-1990s. But you could make a case that the Trump second term is the most directlyand outwardly anti-Christian presidency in American history.

North America is generally not PHEV territory, so those are a separate case, but globally speaking, PHEV tend to rise quickly, peak, then fall again. EU stretches this out so much that it makes it seem like PHEV have a viable future with relevant market share. That is not the case.
