Trump’s Message to Ukraine Is Now Crystal Clear
The president’s actions over the past 72 hours look like an effort to force Kyiv to surrender.

During fascism in Italy it was typical when something went wrong saying “if only the Duce knew” (while obviously Mussolini knew and even ordered). Guess some things never change 🤷🏻‍♂️

I previously reported that the growth rate and composition of Trump's wealth gain in office are unprecedented in recent history. Upon request, here is the data on the relative size of Trump's presidential windfall. The extent of his self-enrichment is even more striking.

The sad reality is that Xi publicly, and repeatedly, insulted Trump and insulted the USA. From giving Trump a shorter chair to citing the Thucydides Trap of a waning power going to war with a rising one, Xi broadcast that China is now in control. Trump is too dim-witted to understand.

So: Trump imposed tariffs, then brought CEO’s of companies that struggled bc of his tariffs with him to China to advocate for eliminating tariffs — adding to China’s anti-tariff argument. He closed up the strait by attacking Iran — leading to China using this as leverage over Taiwan. Genius.

As others ( @brasidas.bsky.social ) have pointed out, this is a bet that the price shock will be so extreme as to compel opening. The problem with that reasoning, as I see it, is that war does not obey the logic of markets. It has its own logic and there may be no peace to be had at any price.

Seconded. The point isn't whether it's easier to hit a base or a ship. The issue is that the level of transparency provided by the US, on its own losses, is becoming increasingly less reliable. I used to trust infos provided by DoD: now I question everything as if we were dealing with Comical Ali
