Leaving NATO would cost the US over $100 billion in arms sales annually, so they won't do it. But to have and eat their cake they just don't need to honour article 5

Recent incidents indicate US is no longer characterizing Russia as a cybersecurity threat, marking a radical departure: ‘Putin is on the inside now’

Putin has repeatedly said that Zelensky is illegitimate and would not negotiate with him. Guess who isn't invited to this particular set of negotiations?

The US has opened negotiations in a strong position by giving one side everything they asked for, to the point that the Russians are trying to figure out what else they can get away with.

When Trump eventually concludes negations it'll be every bit as hollow as Bush standing on an aircraft carrier with a mission accomplished banner behind him. Trump will demand a Noble prize, just like the one Obama got. Peace will not be achieved.

It's funny, I listened to Steve Bannon's war room the other day and he was demanding that they not touch social security and go after the elites and the NGOs instead. Can't imagine this will play well with the voters that swung towards the republicans

He's got a good chance. All he needs do is say "are you worse now than 3 years ago," while not providing a better solution than what we lived through

If elon had friends they'd be giving him so much shit

If the US pulls out of nato for this reason, history books will be written that this was the moment the empire feel apart. All US allies will realise how unreliable an ally they are and start making alternate arrangements

Well yeah, probably because he doesn't know the right answer. Is he going for a loan? He's richer than Mansa Musa? Are the Feds trying to make him pay taxes? He's virtually bankrupt

It's even better when you break the name down kwarizam is where he's from and Muhammad is a common first name. It's like saying Johnny English (or may be Jean Francois) invented calculus in 10-diggity-dig

Lena Khan is amazing and taught me the word monopsylony. Absolutely stoked that Biden chose her and the fact that she is going so hard on creating a competitive environment
