Steve's Reading Russia - Russian Press Review (21 May 2025) YouTube video by Steve Rosenberg

Russia continues to celebrate the Putin-Trump call. Today’s Russian papers: “Trump’s stance couldn’t be more advantageous to Moscow.” “Trump is our ideological partner.” Another paper tells European leaders: “Just breathe in the smell of the new world order.” #ReadingRussia

The US “peace plan” is a capitulation that rubbishes the UN Charter. Europe has to reject this American collusion with Russia. Full stop.

Tomorrow marks 250 years since the "shot heard round the world" as Emerson described it.

It was a good run, but this bold experiment might have run its course.

At least John Winthrop’s “city on a hill” is no more. No matter what. The way that idea has been broken it cannot be put together again.

I agree protectionist talk has increased, and there’s a fun debate to be had about how we have enabled China.

But your post reads as if its lending reason to what is a deeply irrational, uniquely stupid, Trumpian policy approach with no real understanding of economic impact (or theory).

Alignment on underlying challenges doesn’t mean policy alignment. Your sign is not very helpful 😉

also very worth listening to the similarly-excellent interview with Kevin Rudd, and a reminder for me to buy Rudd's book on Xi Jinping!
