@anneapplebaum Not so much because he believes he can win it, unless he and those around him are completely isolated from reality, but rather because he has no other option left - win or nothing. Trump is simply prolonging the agony.
@wjakobik@KiiHeidi National interests explain her appointment to this position in the first place. Key players wanted it kept irrelevant so they can run their own games.
@SitrepLinksENG Somehow I actually believe this. 🇷🇺 has conducted counter-drone operations for a while and developed a robust system for integrating the different parties. To think it all suddenly failed?
DOCUMENTS EXCEPTIONNELS ! Des courriels interceptés par InformNapalm révèlent comment un officier du renseignement militaire russe (GRU) s’est efforcé concrètement de radicaliser les manifestations en France le mois dernier. Un thread ⤵️ 1/13
@TheSolAlsoRises@denvercunning Indeed. The list goes on. This is the implementation of the old Soviet subversion strategy as explained by Bezmenov in the 1980s. With social media, it has become much easier, though the essence remains the same: disrupting the cohesion of western societies.
@VictorKvert2008 В этом и есть одна из главных проблем представителей нынешней американской администрации. Не понимая основ международных отношений, для них проблемы безопасности - лишь сделки с невидимостью, а единственное, что их мотивирует, - личная выгода.
Dans la Soupe Vatnik d’aujourd’hui, notre 400e (!), nous présentons l’archétype du vatnik : il prétend s’opposer à la guerre tout en défendant les invasions, combattre l’impérialisme tout en servant Moscou, chercher la vérité tout en répétant la propagande la plus abjecte.

@Uliss_partizan Ещё Оруэлл, описывая «двоемыслие», во многом опирался на советский опыт: способность искренне верить в две взаимоисключающие вещи одновременно и при этом не испытывать особого дискомфорта. И, похоже, это у них за годы только углубилось.
@MarsMaska61909@VVP2_0 К войне привели не события в Украине, а имперские замашки некоего Пу, который в своём мышлении застрял в XIX веке и после 20 лет у власти возомнил себя царём-батюшкой.
Wladimir Medinski, Russlands Chefunterhändler, erklärte, Moskau könne Nichtangriffspakte mit NATO-Mitgliedstaaten abschließen, "..die dann beispielsweise zusätzliche individuelle Sicherheitsgarantien von der Russischen Föderation erhalten würden..“

Donald Trump never made Wharton’s Dean’s List. He never graduated with honors. The 1968 commencement program from the University of Pennsylvania lists every cum laude, magna cum laude and summa cum laude student in his class, and his name isn’t on it. Decades of Trump insisting he finished first in his class turned out to be a goddamn lie nobody bothered to check until reporters finally pulled the actual paperwork.
Jared Kushner got into Harvard the same way. His father Charles Kushner pledged $2.5 million to the school in 1998, paid out in yearly installments of $250k, and Jared was accepted the following year. Administrators at his high school told journalist Daniel Golden his grades and test scores didn’t come close to warranting it. Kushner Companies calls the connection false. The check cleared anyway.
Jim Jordan earned a law degree from Capital University in 2001. He never took the bar exam. He’s spent years running the House Judiciary Committee, lecturing witnesses and prosecutors about the law, and he’s not a licensed attorney in any state. Nobody stopped him. Nobody in his own party seems to give a damn.
Rand Paul let his real ophthalmology certification from the American Board of Ophthalmology lapse in 2005. So he founded his own certifying board, named himself president, put his wife and father in law in charge, and called himself board certified for over a decade. The board he invented wasn’t recognized by the American Board of Medical Specialties, the American Medical Association or the state of Kentucky.
Mike Johnson took a job in 2010 as founding dean of a law school in Shreveport, Louisiana. He gave a speech about how it couldn’t fail. It never enrolled a single student. It never opened its doors. It collapsed after the accreditation fell through, and Johnson doesn’t bring it up these days.

I genuinely can’t tell if I love this because I made it… Be honest what would you rate it out of 10?
