Although most in my bubble are keenly aware of that Putin and Trump are losing not only their wars but also personally, I can't recommend enoug Timothy Snider's presentation of the concept "superlosers" which Putin and Trump are!

The Era of the Superlosers

Trump, Putin, and the World

Thinking about...
Okay, PolSci and History colleagues here: are you all aware of #TimothySnider's scenario of an imminent coup d'etat in the US? (he has a long thread on X, which I'll not link here, and could not read myself, but it appears to be well covered in the international press) I'll just trust that their summary is correct, which amounts to Trump being inclined to mimick Putin's approach of having a false flag terror strike in the US and then overthrow the remaining democratic controls, /2
Auch bisschen schrΓ€g, mit dem #Zug durchs wunderschΓΆne #Rheintal zu fahren und gleichzeitig #TimothySnider "Der Weg in die Unfreiheit" zu lesen πŸ€ͺ
Can fascism be American?
