Stop calling him a master strategist. He may have wrecked his economy, failed to change a regime and had to make a massive "goodwill gesture", but he has NOT taken 1.3 million casualties doing it. 😤

The Deafening Silence
I watched the coverage of Trump and Hegseth speaking to the military yesterday with a kind of uneasy fascination.

Anyone got any more questions about whether Donald Trump would do anything if the worst happens and Russia turns against NATO allies in Europe? Ukraine is Europe’s greatest ally now, and we need each other as dearly as never before.

I'll allow the dubious chess metaphor in this case! But no matter how bad whatever is in the Epstein files is for Trump--and clearly it's bad--I'm sure whatever Putin has on him is worse.

🚨 Carbon dioxide (CO₂) levels set a new monthly *record high* in May 2025 - 430.51 ppm (seasonal maximum) This is the second largest May-May increase in this dataset (3.6 ppm higher than 2024). This is not good... 🫣 Data from gml.noaa.gov/ccgg/trends/
Red line graph time series of monthly carbon dioxide abundance from January 1959 through May 2025. There is a seasonal cycle and long-term increasing trend. Current levels of CO2 are at 431 ppm. This is the Keeling Curve graph. A line for CO2 10 years ago is also annotated.

I helped build a government AI system. DOGE fired me, rolled the AI out to the whole agency, and implied the AI can do my job and the jobs of the others they've fired. It can't. But, what DOGE accidentally revealed about themselves in the process is fascinating. 🧵

A lot of what appeals to Trumpists about the sudden abandonment of Europe, Ukraine, Canada and Mexico is the emotional trauma it is causing. They're turning what was perhaps an imbalanced relationship into an abusive one. The cruelty is the point, and the shock and pain expressed is the pleasure.

When Trump and Co. take Russia's side, critics often say they’ve been “compromised,” that Putin “has something on them.” But that lets them off the hook. It implies they don’t want to take this stance but have been reluctantly coerced into it. No evidence of that. It's worse. They’re choosing this.

Opinion | Trump echoes Kremlin propaganda that Ukraine is 'gambling with World War III'
As Carl von Clausewitz wrote in the 19th century, “the aggressor is always peace-loving. ... He would prefer to take over our country unopposed.”

The unravelling of the transatlantic order is moving from hypothetical and tentative to sudden and brutal. The West as a strategic construct is broken. 🇪🇺 and its 510 million inhabitants (EU, UK, Norway) is now very much on its own. This isn't an nth wakeup call but like being thrown out of bed...

I think it's the first case in human history where a nation fighting for its survival against a major aggressor is being forced—by a non-combatant partner—into paying Versailles-style reparations over military aid that had earlier been provided purposefully at no cost.
