"Putin doesn’t name buildings after himself," said Franklin Foer. "The only leaders in the world who do this are in places like Turkmenistan and Tajikistan. There’s a tin-pot dictator quality to what [Trump is] doing and how he’s afflicting his insecurities on the world."

"[President Trump's] top generals and war planners came to him and said, 'Sir, one of the first things that will happen is the Strait of Hormuz will be closed,'" said Annie Linskey. "Trump believed that the regime would fall first, and that turned out to be wrong."

Where are we in U.S.–Canada relations? "Well, if Donald Trump gets his way, there will be no border. It'll be another part of the United States," said @peterbakernyt.bsky.social.

"I was on the ground in southern Iraq on the day that Saddam's forces left the southern city of Basra," said @sbg1.bsky.social. "The American and British officers we spoke with had no idea what they were doing there. They didn't know what the goal was."

"It is hard to prosecute in a state court these types of matters. ... Whether or not [the ICE officers] were protected by immunity, that doesn't seem to be the case," said Vivian Salama.

"This war — the preliminary estimates say that it's costing a billion dollars a day," said @nancyayoussef.bsky.social.

Dit mag NOOIT meer gebeuren. Dat zeggen veel politici als de mishandeling van een kind groot in het nieuws is. Maar als het stelsel van jeugdbescherming niet wordt aangepast, als moties niet worden uitgevoerd en waarschuwingen van deskundigen worden genegeerd, dan BLIJFT dit gebeuren.
