"Russia welcomes Trump’s revised US security strategy."
So Trump aligns with European far-right and Russia. Kaja Kallas, the EU’s top diplomat, bites bullet, says in response that the U.S. “still our biggest ally.”
European leaders dealing with heavy dose of cognitive dissonance.

Pretty accurate description. Also lots of clever Belgian and Italian students, and a lot of cool colleagues.

Meanwhile, he pardons the former Honduran president — a man convicted in American court of bringing hundreds of tons of cocaine to the U.S.
You can’t make this stuff up.
