Anne Applebaum"Sanctions are disappearing, weapons are diminishing, counterpropaganda is harder to hear. All of that will encourage Putin to go further—not just to try to defeat Ukraine but to divide Europe, mortally damage NATO, and reduce the power and influence of the United States around the world"

Trump is so clueless that he has no idea of the absolute contempt putin has for him. The russians were commencing their record-breaking attack on Kyiv even as trump was on the phone with putin. The Polish embassy, just half a block from me in Kyiv, was damaged. That’s essentially Polish soil. There are many embassies nearby, and I wonder what it’s going to take to get Ukraine’s ostensible allies to band together and walk the talk. Enough already.

I think that story about trump being recruited by KGB in 1987 and getting "Krasnov" nickname looks very plausible and "clueless" is a very soft wording for this.

Martin Bodlák 💙💛@anneapplebaum Why the future tense? It is already happening...
MFTechThe power and influence of the US is gone, and I don’t believe it will be regained in our lifetimes. Similarly, it will take decades to unsnarl the financial damage.
Luna chan@greenorchids @anneapplebaum The real winner in this and they did not have to do anything new.
Toni Aittoniemi@anneapplebaum ”As The New York Times has reported, the Trump administration has stopped following these shifts and stopped imposing new sanctions altogether. This, the Times writes, allows “new dummy companies to funnel funds and critical components to Russia, including computer chips and military equipment.”

@anneapplebaum Stall, give Putin time to try and break the Ukrainians’ spirit by murder of civilians, because he can’t get to them through the battlefield.
The same as is going on in Gaza, in a smaller scale.
This is the legacy of a weak USA, a corrupt USA and turning-fascist USA. (Yes, Biden counts in here)

If you think like a psychopath, which is what most of those under the category "billionaire" are, it's making sense.
If you're so completely detached from actual reality that you're convinced that all that cash will ensure your survival no matter what, the only problematic variable in the equation become "other people".
Imagine a henhouse on fire...
Of course they need as many weapons and bunkers as they can get, to subdue democracy when it gets hot.

Ukraine needs to buy an old fishing vessel on the black market and sail it to the Sea of Japan. From there they can launch a drone attack on Russian transportation infrastructure which connects Russia to arms suppliers in North Korea.
