Think of the time being wasted by diplomats and experts in Europe and Latin America, as they start planning how to counter American attacks on Panama or Greenland. Time that could be spent thinking about a unified response to Russia and China.

"Western experts filling the op-ed pages with ideas for securing a post-settlement Ukraine have been negotiating with themselves. Putin has never agreed to the establishment of a demilitarized zone, foreign troops on Ukrainian soil, or a continuing Ukrainian military relationship with the West"

The Media Isn’t Ready for Trump’s Mass Deportation Moment "This is not a border story — it's a national story.”

In case you're scoring the sycophancy.

Mark Zuckerberg Is a Surrender Monkey Capitulation is contagious.

"Imagine if Zuckerberg oriented Meta towards Trump the way Musk oriented Twitter/X toward Biden/Harris/Democrats. But of course, that’s unthinkable."
