in reply to William Lindsey • • •Citing Canadian PM Mark Carney's Tyler McBrien and Benjamin Wittes note that the closest ally of the US is now comparing the US to the Soviets:
"Carney here is saying the quiet part out loud. Trumpism, or MAGA—as well as its cousins overseas—is not some aberration."

in reply to William Lindsey • • •"It is irrevocably altering the world order, and only the proverbial ostrich with its head in the sand can continue to pretend that American hegemony is the benign force it has mostly been in the modern era."

in reply to William Lindsey • • •"We have ended the American era. And the prime minister of our closest ally, comparing us to the Athenians in the Melian dialogue and to the Soviet Communist Party in the writings of Vaclav Havel, has called us out from Davos. I just want to open this by saying don't blame Mark Carney. He's just telling the truth."

in reply to William Lindsey • • •Mary Trump calls Trump's Davos performance "one of probably the most humiliating, consequential events in modern American history. I don't like to call it a speech, but Donald's delusional, mendacious, threatening ramblings on the world stage at Davos. So we're looking at the unraveling of the post-World War II order at the hands of an American president."

in reply to William Lindsey • • •"It is historic because it marks the end of a productive chapter in the history of trans-Atlantic relations and, face it, the end of American leadership in the world as we have known it. But it is also of great consequence because it marks a massive, ugly, public defeat of Trump and the establishment for all to see of the means by which the menace who is America’s president can be contained and, where necessary, defeated."

Davos Was the Beginning of the End for Trump
David Rothkopf (Need to Know by David Rothkopf)William Lindsey
in reply to William Lindsey • • •"Everyone needs to forget everything they think they know about Donald Trump and just see him as Vladimir Putin sees him. As a useful idiot that can destroy America from the inside. ...
Trump for President was a Russian initiative, dating back to the 1980s, when Trump — upon his return from his first trip to Moscow — placed $100,000 worth of newspaper ads attacking NATO."

in reply to William Lindsey • • •"Trump has never believed in the principles that NATO was founded to promote and preserve. He doesn’t feel affinity for liberal democracy. ...
Trump has contempt for democratic norms. He wants to move America’s pieces to the other side of the chessboard, alongside those whose systems and methods he finds more congenial—Russia, China, El Salvador, Turkey, and Hungary."

As the world finally punches back, was this the week Donald Trump went too far?
Jonathan Freedland (The Guardian)William Lindsey
in reply to William Lindsey • • •"There is a way to file for divorce from Donald Trump and Europe needs to grab the opportunity.
To the public it will look as if nothing has changed. But behind the scenes the EU and the UK could close the joint bank account and cut up the credit cards, or at least set in motion a form of financial separation that limits the power of a controlling former partner."
