Give Trump Several Nobel Prizes So That He Can Be Less Weird
·
The Atlantic’s Anne Applebaum has published a troubling account of something that was already pretty clear: Trump has basically taken Russia’s side in the Russia/Ukraine war. He’s withholding weapons that Ukraine needs, and he’s loosening the sanctions on Russia. Faced with the closest thing we’re ever going to get to a moral and strategic no-brainer in international relations, Trump is treating “should a country be allowed to just take over another country?” as an unsolvable Confucian riddle. It’s like watching a man struggle to figure out the word jumble on the side of a Happy Meal — the answer is “burger”, you idiot — except the consequences here could be dire.
