Polish PM Donald Tusk: Russia wants to dominate Ukraine, and we know it will not stop there. Russia wants to destroy the existing security architecture in Europe so that Russian dominance can return to what it was before 1989.

It's so hard to pick a date when the post-American world really began, because there are so many. Today makes a great candidate, though: right after Trump claimed there was an "energy ceasefire", Kyiv was bombed into another blackout. That's how much Putin despises the weakest American leader ever.

No doubt this has occurred to other bystanders as well, but it would seem that a handful of billionaires dropping $150 million into a single state's election in an attempt to defeat a wealth-tax initiative just about makes the entire case for a wealth-tax initiative.
