Imagine if the US would put this kind of effort into infiltrating and destabilizing Russia instead of Denmark

“Europe cannot afford to see Russia triumph over Ukraine,” write Wally Adeyemo and David Shimer. “The need to seize Russia’s sovereign assets is more urgent now than at any time since the war began.”

💥SCOOP: Orbán’s government is spooked by the EU possibly suspending Hungary’s voting rights (Article 7). A source confirms Orbán's “blocking coalition” isn’t solid at all. This is why, in desperation, Orbán endorsed Romania’s George Simion. 🔗More on @vsquare.bsky.social: vsquare.org/presidential...

Russian state media in return openly mocks Trump for his statement.

“.. Carney didn’t need to shout. .. He lined up the free world—Japan, the EU, Canada in lockstep—and showed Trump the cliff’s edge. .. “.. Little triggers and strategies you get when the world’s most respected economist is your PM.” @deanblundell.bsky.social 🇨🇦 open.substack.com/pub/deanblun...

He flip flops, market drops

Hopefully we're now over the idea that Trump and Putin are seven-dimensional chess geniuses. They're chancers and opportunists. Putin royally miscalculated his invasion of Ukraine in 2022, losing almost a million soldiers KIA/WIA, and now Trump is causing trade carnage everywhere

In 25 years of covering national security, I’ve never seen a story like this: Senior Trump officials discussed planning for the U.S. attack on Yemen in a Signal group--and inadvertently added the editor-in-chief of The Atlantic. www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

Also not to mention how pathetically audacious it is to first threaten to annex a constituent part of the Kingdom of Denmark and then ask Denmark for eggs

As the Senate Democrats make a performative gesture before giving Trump everything he wants, my rage at Democrats is fully justified.

GOP Rep. Don Bacon: "We were the leader of the free world, but it appears to many leaders and people all over, to include Republicans in Nebraska, that this administration is walking away from that legacy."

Musk takes a break from posting fake news, fascist and racist memes, and slandering Ukraine with Kremlin talking points to again show that he’s a moral imbecile. A true renaissance man.

Why does an autonomous humanoid robot need an autonomous car? Can’t you just throw it the keys to a 2017 Honda Civic? The plot holes are just so obvious.

NEW: I helped Brian Krebs trace the background of one of Elon Musk's top loyalists, Branden Spikes, head of IT at X, who spent 2 mo at DOGE. Spikes and his ex-wife were involved with Russian diaspora websites and groups linked to pro-Kremlin KSORS players, Russian state media while he was at SpaceX.

We didn’t know then that it had all been agreed in advance in the secret Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact. Today, we have no excuse for such naivety. It’s a safe bet that the Trump-Putin Pact already exists—and we should act accordingly.🧵14/14

BREAKING -- Hungary to be STRIPPED of voting rights in European Parliament for engaging in pro-Putin, anti-Ukraine obstructionism Excellent news. Now kick them out of the EU entirely.

Latest in a series of canny observations from Joshi

Obama and Biden may think they are honoring the office of the presidency by keeping quiet at a moment like this — if so that’s just preening vanity — they owe it to the office and to the Republic that until last month it served to speak up loudly and clearly and without relent.

Unfortunately I won’t be to DC in time, but this rally for Ukraine is happening in Lincoln memorial. Attend if you can and Slava Ukrainii!

As Trump makes concessions to Russia, he is showing weakness on a level unprecedented in modern US history. His position is so weak that it is unlikely to convince anyone. Trump is a sheep in wolf’s clothing. The wolves can tell the difference "The Weak Strongman" snyder.substack.com/p/the-weak-s...

Unsurprisingly, Vance introduces himself to our allies not by extolling our shared values, but by lecturing them to embrace extremists. The mask has come off. Democracy is not the goal, authoritarianism is. When Trump steps aside, Vance will be even more dangerous. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/14/w...

The Trump-Putin non aggression pact of 2025 will contain a secret clause that assigns Poland to Russian sphere in exchange for US keeping Alaska. #ArtOfTheDeal

Imagine owning a stock with an absentee CEO going full nutbar, at like 150x P/E, with the E now highly sus, and seeing these headlines, and just not even worry about it, because of a "robotaxi soon" for 8 years in a row.

Lithuania, Latvia, and Estonia will tomorrow permanently disconnect from Russia’s power grid. Russia can no longer use energy as a tool of blackmail. This is a victory for freedom and European unity.

If you’ve been wondering what Elon Musk and his lackeys are up to since taking control of the US government, look no further. Our latest story names six 19- to 24-year-olds working with his DOGE organization, which now has access to sensitive federal systems. wrd.cm/4jzpiSN
