UPDATE: Steve Timmer links to Heather Cox Richardson's particular Jan 3 analysis of World Order in a Nuclear World, International Law and its history, and more.
I wonder how BRICS can hold together, given the R in there is Russia on the move.
PBS gives further basis to understanding things by publishing the entire Congressional House testimony of Jack Smith, special prosecutor. It matters.
On Dan Burns' post about Trump having no plan, he has no direct plan beyond snatching Maduro for a show trial, and the notion that Trump has Putin's plan for sphere's of influence by big nations with big armies, and personally accumulating loot.
Like or dislike Elon Musk, he's said something worth considering, in understanding Trump's lusts. Sphere's of influence especially. Never mind rule of law and international law constraints against naked power.
Trump is so full of shit that it's running out of his ears. As it may be said, crudely.
