It would be nice if it did work like that.

Bravo Moldova!

An egotist.

Cant tell if it's because they don't take him seriously (they should) or they're protecting his/America's reputation, or they think it's beneath them to repeat it?

But it's so normalized and buried in the nether regions. It *should* be screamed in a headline.

Surely it will backfire? Vance is about as appealing as typhoid.

You can always rely on the NYT.

If he had a nuke pointed at London, would anyone be able to stop him using it? Trump and friends are causing cataclysmic harm to the entire world and apparently no one individual or group is capable of preventing it.

Win or Lose, Orbán has Broken Hungary’s Democracy Hungarians head to the polls on April 12 for an election of national and European consequence. Three different outcomes are on the cards, each with their own implications for the EU.

"When democratic institutions decay for long enough, elections cease to be contests between programs and become desperate referendums on whether political change is possible at all." Win or Lose, Orbán has Broken Hungary’s Democracy

Horrifying and not at all surprising.

Then the cash under the bed will be worthless...

What's your yardstick? Rampant inflation incoming, stagflation, exhausted armaments, global derision, long-term Middle East chaos, uptick in terrorism targeting US citizens. It's all dandy.

Every utterance and action associated with the current US Administration is satire.

A total, clueless buffoon. Should have left it at: "...an unprovoked and unnecessary attack on Iran, launched at Israel’s behest, is already a foreign-policy fiasco that has put the global economy at risk without any clear objective or endgame." These words are 100% accurate.

NATO minus the US.

Russian Offensive Campaign Assessment, March 22, 2026 A senior Ukrainian military official forecasted that Russia will begin using mobilized personnel on the battlefield in Ukraine on April 1.

Belarusian balloons landed in Poland, possibly as part of Russia’s ongoing use of Belarus in its “Phase Zero” effort, setting conditions for a potential future war with NATO. Poland reported on March 21 that they found five balloons and 10 foil-wrapped.

No.

*Were* laying mines.

He will win again.

Not so covert.

Everything Trump touches, actually.

Ayatollah's son named Iran's next supreme leader: Al Jazeera report.

Of course this is Israel’s war in Iran. It’s America’s, too. We’d all better win it Trump's critics, ostensibly from his own camp, evidently have a very dim view of his intellect and skill set * In Iran, unlike Gaza, 'total victory' need not be an empty slogan, provided there's prope...

"The IDF is privately indicating that it and the US forces need at least two more weeks to create conditions in which Iranians might be able to rise up.

It hopes, officials have indicated, that diplomacy will not intervene prematurely."

Right now at the Strait of Hormuz, Iran. Looks like no one is taking Trump's offer of 'escorted safe passage' seriously. Ships at anchor on both sides, waiting for hostilities to cease.
