Thanks for that, I somehow didn't see it until this morning."By Steven Levitsky, Lucan Way and Daniel Ziblatt
The authors are political scientists who study how democracies come to an end."
"Steven Levitsky and Daniel Ziblatt (@dziblatt) are professors of government at Harvard and the authors of “Tyranny of the Minority” and “How Democracies Die.” Lucan Way is a professor of political science at the University of Toronto and an author, with Mr. Levitsky, of “Revolution and Dictatorship: The Violent Origins of Durable Authoritarianism” and “Competitive Authoritarianism: Hybrid Regimes After the Cold War.”
Classic logical fallacy: deflection, attack the source.Who do you think, Steven, Lucan, and Daniel voted for over the last 15 years?
I know you'll probably say you don't know, but just hazard a guess.

Are you able to engage in any form of honest debate at all, ever?
If you aren’t, then you won’t ever learn anything.

Everyone is emotional says Kremlin, after Trump calls Putin 'absolutely crazy'
Trump stepped up his criticism of the Russian president after a weekend of major drone and missile attacks on Ukraine.www.bbc.co.uk
His response is one of personal disappointment, like a deal that had gone wrong for no apparent reason. He's immune to the wider issues and history. Meanwhile it’s back to business for Poots.It appears the Russians aren't as stupid as the Western media would like everyone to believe.

They are stitching up Trump big time.LIstening to T in the Middle East, he's certainly getting them sucking up to him and "pledging" pretty big purchases from the US.
His speeches are egotistical rambles though. They're busy massaging that ego.

Please provide the tiktok rando who backs that up?They are stitching up Trump big time.
Trump was in touch with OPEC leaders during Bidens term, because he wanted them to cut oil production to put up prices in USA, which did happen.
Now he has done a deal with OPEC+ to ramp up production, which will lower prices at the pumps for a few weeks…..but it will also cause USA oil production to shut down as oil prices fall below cost of extraction. Once OPEC+ have regained market share, prices will ramp up again.
Trumps election slogan was Drill Baby Drill, but American oil is contracting and the region with the fastest growth of new wells is Russia.
He will genuinely be mourning the loss of the minerals dealIt is almost as if the interaction of hundreds of millions of people is more complex than stiffing the contractor who pours your cement.
