Trump’s Foreign Policy Has a Model: The Barbary Pirates Trump’s foreign policy often looks chaotic, but it follows a clear model: intimidation, tribute, and transactional power reminiscent of the Barbary pirates.

What if Trump’s foreign policy isn’t chaotic at all?

What if it’s built on his mobster-style attitude towards everything: Pay up. Or else.

@brynntannehill.bsky.social explains how the closest historical parallel isn’t modern diplomacy, it’s the Barbary pirates.

And there are a lot of possibilities but in the meantime, life costs money and in my mid-40s I'm tired of the hustle it would require to rebuild as a full-time freelancer. And the cost, as I hemorrhage savings. This is all to say, if you're going through similar as a journalist, you're not alone

But now is a new chapter I'm not sure how to write. Journalism is a tough industry but it feels like it's even more so now. I have my newsletter and a new series where I illustrate news events since I'm also a collage artist open.substack.com/pub/exportqu...

I think it's what I've been struggling to come to terms with and articulate the last few months, my business failed. And, now I either rebuild or do my best to stop freelancing. Both are proving incredibly hard at the moment. But, my biz also thrived for a long time! I made a great life out of it.

My freelance business fell apart last quarter. All of it (I ended one contract for my sanity). Oddly, I haven't been able to say that until recently but my life's work over the last 15+ years, each step I built upon, relationships - all gone bc of a bad market + ripple effects of fed budget cuts

If you’re roughly my age, it’s wild to reflect on the optimism for the future Americans felt when Obama was elected — young Americans spontaneously took to the streets to celebrate! — and contrast with what we face today. The falloff over the past 18 years is hard to process.

There are people who have always asked this but the fact that someone like Robert Reich doesn't hear or see them is likely a big part of the problem.

How is it no one on these Senate committees saw this attack coming if they indeed have "access to a lot of classified info?" There's no way any member of Congress should trust any one in this administration to respect the powers of their respective branches at this point.

The fact this operation is called "Epic Fury" tells us everything: these men are running on emotions not confirmed facts, even by their own intelligence services. And Congress doing absolutely nothing should 100% affect the US midterms.

Going from Olympics to war in a week is political whiplash. I wrote and illustrated about Kash Patel, the Desi Hall of Shame, Trump, joy, and a little bit about Iran. I hope you like this series where I use collage art videos to make news less overwhelming www.exportqualitynews.com/p/the-desi-h...

He stops short of saying that he actually supports the action, just doesn't like the way it happened. This is not an anti-war statement, it's a 'you took my power away' one.

The idea of a legislative body representing the population having the ability to check the ultimate power of a country’s leader sounds really neat. Someone should write that down.

And what this chaos and maniacal need for personal glory leads to is children being imprisoned and used as bait, people with health problems being abused or dying, and an entire American city under siege by its own country's government. Noem isn't just bat shit insane, she's destructive and a danger
