- Trying to explain Trump‘s obedience to Putin by saying he wants to split Russia and China is a fantasy even if true. Read my newest piece—why splitting Russia and China is geopolitical fan fiction—and subscribe to The Next Move from @Renew_Democracy. thenextmove.substack.com/p/splitting-...
- If you had an elderly parent babbling about money like Trump does, you would take away their credit cards and checkbook, but Congress lets Trump blow up the US & global economy with tariffs and social media posts.
- Trump embarrasses himself: "We don't do much business with Canada." #BOSpoli + #MApoli Canada's PM Mark Carney claps back: "Canada is the largest client of the United States." Truth? Excluding gas, America has a trade surplus with Canada, not Trump's HUGE imaginary deficit. #ImJustSaying
- Putin's military parade and the guests who support Russia's genocidal war are valid military targets. The Ukrainian civilians Russia bombs every day are not.
- Congrats, Eric!

Sharing this type of research can help Americans rediscover their common identity, despite all attempts to divide them.

- I actually agree with Trump that Europe ought to lead more. But his zigzagging between Russia and Ukraine has turned European leadership from a wish into an essential need.

- My new piece in The Atlantic continues how to fight Putinization in America. Trump is accelerating his wide-spectrum attacks on the rule of law & on public & private institutions that might slow him. If legislators don’t fight now, they won’t be able to later. www.theatlantic.com/internationa...

- Sad that stating this plain truth is the definition of courage in Trump’s Republican Party today, of course. We need much more of it and quickly to slow down Trump‘s embrace of authoritarian regimes and his Putinization of the US government with Musk.
- Reposted by Garry KasparovGOP 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.

- Typical magician con man trick. Everyone look over here at Zelenskyy's wardrobe while we put billions in taxpayer money into friends, family, and tech bro pockets.
- Who is going to read all these emails containing sensitive Pentagon information? Is DOGE outsourcing that to Musk's friends in China? Sharing such data would have been treason not long ago, now it’s going into the public domain by order?
- We're used to seeing this type of propaganda coordination in Russia, and with all the Russia sycophants around the world. So to see this choreographed praise of dear leader in America adds a stomach-turning coda. As I wrote today, Trump isn't just fawning, he's imitating Putin.

- No other president? I can think of a few! And they stood up for America against enemies, not allies. Little Marco, let's see Trump stand up to Putin if you want to impress anyone.

- This is perceptive and jibes with what I called Trump in a recent article, an aging reality show host mostly concerned about keeping his personal ratings high. But he’s also the president of the most powerful country in the world, unfortunately for Ukraine.
- No, Trump has destroyed America in the eyes of the world.
- Zelensky is a wartime leader watching his people suffer and die under Russian attacks every day. To be lectured and lied to by Trump and Vance, as they defend the war criminal dictator committing these atrocities, is unimaginable agony. An everlasting shame for America.
- Reposted by Garry KasparovObama 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.
- Trumps affinity for Putin is bad, his imitating him is worse. The Putinization of America has begun, with an unaccountable oligarch running the show and a toxic mix of public power & private interests.

- It’s always been a war about values and now the US is on the wrong side.
- And these days, Trump is doing more for Putin than the Russian army…
- Hmm, I wonder if Musk knows anyone else who got the most votes with Kremlin help?
- Reposted by Garry KasparovFor the US to side with Russia and North Korea to oppose a UN resolution condemning the illegal invasion of Ukraine defies all common sense and adds insult to the countless injuries suffered by the brave Ukrainian people. edition.cnn.com/2025/02/24/p...
- Yes. As I wrote long ago, if you think defeating Russia in Ukraine is expensive, wait until you see how expensive it gets if Russia wins. This is a true binary. There’s no draw or tie.
- Putinization, now also coming to America. Nationalized expenses, privatized profits.

- Zelensky cares more about Ukraine and Ukrainians, present and future, than about himself or what people say about him. This makes him incomprehensible to people like Trump and Musk, who care only about their personal power and image. He is a living rebuke and it’s one reason they despise him.
- So much for Trump being "tough on Russia," but how about Iran, where he talked about maximum pressure? The Islamic State is dependent on Putin, while Ukraine is standing as a shield against them both. My article with @urielepshtein.bsky.social thedispatch.com/article/russ...

- The origin of the obsession matters. From Giuliani to Musk, the Trump circle is obsessed with slandering and attacking Ukraine. Why? And instead of making a real case for abandoning it to Russia, it’s just one bullshit Kremlin propaganda tale after another.
- So far, Trump’s art of the deal is to give Russia whatever it wants in advance while asking for nothing from Putin. At the same time, he has tried to extort Ukraine for mineral rights. Once again, he seems not to know or care who America’s allies and enemies are.
- These are probably just corrupt business meetings to discuss how to divide up the spoils of Russia taking over Ukraine with American help. Some quisling Ukrainian oligarchs and their peers.
- Instead of Napoleon, Trump should cite Óscar Benavides: "For my friends, anything. For my enemies, the law."

- The MAGA and AfD slogan may as well be, “Maybe again”.
- 80 years ago, American power was needed to demilitarize Germany in order to defend the values of the free world. Today, German militarization is required to defend those same values from American power!
