      There is this global scary movement of EU anti-globalists, Putin and Trump (and to a lesser extent BRICS although that is mostly anti-US which i can sort of get behind by now)) out to destroy the liberal world order. Wonder if Europe will be able to weather that storm.

      Russia doesn’t get to talk about other countries stepping outside the bounds of democracy without everyone laughing.
