DESTINY LIKE FORTINBRAS

The translation was done by the AI.

It is amazing how all of us wish for positive news – we are ready to grab even the smallest hint of it like a drowning man grabs a straw...
Although there has never been a case in human history where the straw helped the drowning man. More often, he saved himself by grabbing his own hair and pulling himself out of the deepest swamp that sucked him in.

Unfortunately, we see with our raw nerves a theatre for a single actor, narcissistically poking his nose in the middle of the madhouse, known by inertia as the White House, although it has been generating only black swans and black thoughts for more than three months.

FOUR EFFECTS DIRECTLY IMPACTING TRUMP

The translation was done by the AI.

For me (and clearly not just for me), the fact that the U.S. has a totally unhinged idiot as its president is incredibly dangerous for the world.
But it’s even more dangerous for Trump himself.

Trump is surrounded by absolute mediocrities, sycophants, cynics, illiterates, and crooks who only tell him what he wants to hear and show him what he wants to see. This way, Trump lives in a make-believe world, and anything he learns that doesn’t suit him, he instinctively and impulsively rejects.

FROM A UNIPOLAR TO… A UNIPOLAR MODEL?!?

The translation was done by the AI.

“A smaller sailboat may spin around in the water, but it may rise up again after a few turns, but if the Titanic is going to sink, it will sink.”
—Xi Jinping

Everything—absolutely everything—that Trump does is wrong. Dangerously wrong. And probably—fatal.
Under his leadership, the United States is like the Titanic. And as comrade Xi says: once the Titanic starts sinking, it sinks.

The attempts to find some kind of strategy in Trump’s actions are not just comical—they are downright pathetic.
Trump is a threat to the very existence of the United States. The U.S. can (still) escape from Trump’s madness, but the price will be colossal.

PART OF RUSSIA’S PROBLEMS

The translation was done by the AI.

A Ukrainian analyst recently said almost exactly what I’ve been arguing myself — that Russian opposition figures suffer from the so-called “Navalny syndrome.”
I personally call it the “Navalny complex.”

Among them, there are courageous individuals — some have even gone through prison and even labor camps.
Most of them are based in the West, primarily in Europe, and are constantly striving for funding, boldly puffing their chests in front of Euro-Atlantic institutions and bravely fighting from the comfort of their couches and in podcasts.

AMERICA’S LAST-CHANCE EXAM

The translation was done by the AI.

I’ve heard it already in two different podcasts—two prominent economists compared the escalating tariff standoff between Trump and Xi to a game of *Chicken*.
The title of that game can also be translated as: “Who’s the coward?”

The term “chicken” in English has the double meaning of a farm bird and a person who lacks courage. So the game "Chicken" is literally a game of cowardice, a test of nerves, a reckless race to see who swerves first.
