Excellent points. Russia is receding on all fronts, but their support in America is on the rise with the treasonous idiocy of trumpism. What happened to the anti-communist fervor of earlier decades?

Now the conservatives, who in the past have ruthlessly persecuted American citizens for perceived communist leanings, are embracing Putin and abandoning Ukraine, a democracy. What the living fuck.

The isolationism of the MAGA movement fits with historical American fascists.

This really gives me hope for the days ahead when we can break the cycle of Trumpism and MAGA.

A friend who works as a buyer for Norwegian military pointed out in 2022 that the production capacity of Europe, Canada, USA etc dwarfed the capacity of Russia and would be the decisive factor.

A potential axis of Iran, North Korea, and China would be a real threat, but thankfully totalitarian governments have to spend too much time and energy keeping their populations down to cohesively work together.

Great article, I learned a lot! I've been afraid since November that Orange Hitler will help Russia directly or indirectly by cutting off aid to Ukraine. It seems all of MAGA are Putin wannabes. Hence all the talk about invading Canada, Greenland, Panama, etc. And this regime is pissing off our allies and delighting our enemies. Crazy, unbelievable, dark days ahead.
