I agree. Perhaps I could have been clearer. I was referring to the modus operandi of the Trump administration and to the development of postfactual politics in general, as you mention. Lets hope Lincoln was right🙂

Facts aren't important. Its all about the narrative, the show. Whether it is at the expense of relationships with old allies is of no importance.

The CBS investigation portrays a modern concentration camp, similar to the Soviet GULAG (like CECOT, an acronym): sadistic guards, 24 hour lighting, isolation cells. Americans once opposed this inhumane system. The Trump administration sent innocent people there to suffer.

The only time Article 5 of the NATO Treaty was invoked was to defend us, not for us to defend Europe. European soldiers and civilians died fighting with us and working next to us in Afghanistan. Europe was not attacked on September 11, 2001.

1\ Why are the Republicans and Russia trying to force Ukraine to surrender now? There's a chance it's because Russia knows it cannot finance the war much longer. The Republicans & Russians could be pushing hard to lock in odds of Ukraine's future extermination before Russia's failure is obvious.
