I asked Der Spiegel to share this important interview with Robert Kagan in English. @bredow made it happen. This is how American media should be talking:
"We Are Watching a Country Fall Under Dictatorship Almost Without Resistance"

U.S. Historian Robert Kagan: "We Are Watching a Country Fall Under Dictatorship Almost Without Resistance"

The Cold War? Child's play compared to what lies ahead, according to U.S. historian Robert Kagan. Trump, he says, is leading the world into the most dangerous era since 1945.

You can also hear Kagan talking to gross on Fresh Air. This discussion was chilling. https://www.npr.org/2026/02/04/nx-s1-5699388/is-the-u-s-heading-into-a-dictatorship

@verbalprimate @jeffjarvis @bredow Thanks for sharing that, and yay, no paywall like Der Spiegel.
