I've read that if Russia ever wins its war with Ukraine that the three Baltic States would be next on Putin's radar for a "re-assimilation" back into Mother Russia, as Putin seeks to rebuild the old Soviet Empire. Which in itself is a good reason to help keep arming the Ukrainians and doing what we can (short of sending troops, of course) to help them win the war. Stop Putin's expansion plans in Ukraine and it's unlikely they'll attack anywhere else.

Balkans would provoke a NATO response. The only real question left is would Trump sit things out or even attack the rest of NAtO?

I don’t think he would be able to get the US Military to align with Russia to attack NATO Allies, even after the Pentagon purge, but I could certainly see him sitting it out.

So she's a micromanager, would would have thought...

Hahaha, no. She and Corey Lewandowski created the bottleneck and by several reports she is not interested in administrative details and he is the one acting as de facto chief of staff, including managing the bottleneck created by this policy. It also delayed some FEMA responses to the July 4 flooding in Texas.

People living on the Canadian land he covets are less trusting.

Seems smart to put factors other than intelligence, knowledge, and experience at the top of the list for reasons to employee someone.

We should have never let all those former Nazi scientists lead the way in US Rocket science development.............

Pentagon 9/11 memorial service moved from impact site to inside the Pentagon courtyard, likely since Trump was present and things are heated right now and they don't want to shut down 395 to the degree they need to in the environment.

 

[altmin]

Can't tell if Trump is trying to use a "solemn, condolence" voice or they dug him out of a hospital bed to give this terrible 9/11 speech. He sounds like someone on their death bed.

[Molotov Mocktail]

Fuck yes. Time for another tweetstorm and maybe even unhinged Oval Office address

 

[Patb78]

Tried to illegally remain in power after losing an election. Now, where has that trick been tried before?

 

[nycfan]

No idea why he lets these linger for a month or more and then does them in batches. But the way he politicizes his delayed approval of disaster funds is super gross.

Yeah, it's not terribly attractive.

I also feel like when it opens its mouth it's gonna have a lot of scary teeth.
