What the Trump admin is pushing for is an unprecedented alignment of the US with Russia. 31565210

Eric Hacke 🇨🇦🇺🇦 @ehacke.bsky.social · 30/09/2026As with the Trump admin, they think they are the only beings with agency in this world, and political effects only ripple away from them, never towards.
