Thinking the Unimaginable, 3: A Revolution Ready for Tyranny • russian desk

1. Why the Russian alliance is vital to Trump:
   Even for some of those in Europe who feel close to Trump’s anti-elite nationalism, his alignment with Putin’s Russia is an incomprehensible scandal. Corruption, Trump’s troubled relations with Russia over several decades, the entryism of Russian services, and his fascination with Putin: all play a part in Trump’s choices on Ukraine, Europe, and Russia. But I do not think we can understand them if we do not see their function in the revolutionary project: defeating China.

2. No- domestic politics (like most politics) are driven by demographic and socioeconomic forces…

   While no question Trump has harnessed these forces, he’s still largely riding a wave- he certainly hasn’t created a grand conspiracy to pull off the reverse Kissinger

   Race and centralization of government are the two axes of American politics- FP is traditionally known to have little influence on domestic voters outside of war weariness

   This article is crazy talk
