Many people have a wrong idea about what US intelligence sharing with Ukraine is. In reality it's largely early warnings about air strikes so Ukrainians can seek shelter. This requires US satellites. But it looks like Trump might have instructed his military to stop giving Ukrainians that warning.

I don't see anything erratic here. For over a decade, Trump has prioritised "getting along with Russia"; since 20 January 2025, Trump administration policy has reflected that priority. It's perhaps the most consistent aspect of Trump foreign policy. 🧵on Trump and sanctions.

Recap: Putin launches full-scale invasion of Ukraine, Ukraine defends itself valiantly with US support, West adapts a little to energy shock with more on the way, Trump returns to office, cuts aid to Ukraine & renewables, launches a war of choice causing new energy shock, imports fuel from Russia.

The State of the European Union feels like some bizarro future Sci-fi world. Modern space-age parliament, a leader that shuffles between three languages, and a speech that sanely and astutely assesses issues, lays out ideas and weirdly acknowledges climate change and supports democracy. Terrifying!

This is getting a huge response on twitter, including from people I follow who are taking it at face value. As far as I can tell, it's fake. Trump said nothing like this in his public appearances yesterday. People *really* need to be more cautious of unsourced quotes that play to their assumptions.

The best way to understand America is to think of a late-stage dictator combined with an early-stage authoritarian regime. You get all the madness, corruption, and paranoia of an old man who has been in power 40 years, but combined with a seizure group trying to consolidate power in typical ways.

Yes, Trump has been elected twice and is a symptom of trends that are particularly strong in the US. When his time is up, it's far from clear that the States will get back on a better track, either internally or in relation to other countries.
