afghanistan is what americans think of when thy hear war. nobody considered what trying to attack a county with an extant government might actually look like. it’s the same reason the west was shocked that russia didn’t just flatten ukraine on day one

As much as we dunk on Trump’s “idk, that‘s the sort of shit that happens in war” after some GIs got blown up, it really was a more incisive insight than the “holy shit, going to war means the other country’s military shoots at ours with weapons?!” coming from the rest of our idiot country.

The ironic thing is that having suicide drones that otherwise would have hit Ukraine dropped on our own dumbfuck foreheads is still the closest thing to being an effective defender of the free world Hegseth has ever pulled off.

With that vote yesterday we've crossed the Rubicon. The Republic is dead. Law and the Constitution aren't binding anymore. What Emperor Trump wants is law. Congress has utterly abdicated and is indeed a rubber stamp, powerless Senate just as in Rome. Ave Ceasar! Morituri te salutant!

Just learned that AIPAC has now jumped into a fourth open seat House race in Illinois, backing Melissa Conyears Ervin with what has been described as a $2.8 million buy (around $500k a week). This is straight up AIPAC, not a shell PAC, through United Democracy Project.

He pleaded with them to stop but they just “laughed at me and hit me again.” “They were very racist people,” he said. “No one insulted them, neither me nor the other person they detained me with. It was their character, their racism toward us, for being immigrants.”
Once he was taken to an ICE holding facility at Ft. Snelling in suburban Minneapolis, Castañeda Mondragón said officers resumed beating him. Recognizing that he was seriously hurt, he said, he pleaded with them to stop but they just “laughed at me and hit me again.”

“They were very racist people,” he said. “No one insulted them, neither me nor the other person they detained me with. It was their character, their racism toward us, for being immigrants.”

Current state of Republican Party politics: The president posted an image of the first black president and First Lady as apes; no one at the White House will publicly say that is not appropriate; the most likely person to face consequences is the party’s sole black senator — for calling it “racist.”

The multipolar world Trump is laying out is basically the three Super states of 1984. Oceania is the Western Hemisphere, Australia and UK or the Anglosphere plus Monroe Doctrine on steroids. Eurasia, or Russia dominating Europe, and East Asia or China dominating the Far East.

Still too much denial in Europe, with too many clinging to the notion that nonconfrontation, persuasion, and appeal to shared national interest will get the U.S. government to change course, but more Europeans are recognizing the unsubtle pattern.

European countries are facing a serious “are you sovereign or not?” moment. Yes, it’s unfair. Yes, there are risks in standing up for yourselves. But there are awfully big risks in ongoing appeasement too, telling yourselves this US government doesn’t really mean the threats and can be persuaded.
