NATO's Rutte Warns Of Chinese-Russian Red Dawn As Medvedev Suggests He's "On Magic Mushrooms"
NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte has gone full 'Red Dawn' - warning that China and Russia might orchestrate simultaneous invasions of Taiwan and Europe to destabilize the Western alliance.
“If Xi Jinping would attack Taiwan, he would first make sure that he makes a call to his very junior partner in all of this, Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin, residing in Moscow, and telling him, 'Hey, I'm going to do this, and I need you to keep them busy in Europe by attacking NATO territory,'” Rutte claimed in a recent interview with The New York Times. “That is most likely the way this will progress, and to deter them, we need to do two things.”
To counter this perceived threat, Rutte advocated a comprehensive dual approach aimed at fortifying NATO's resilience and expanding its strategic partnerships.
“One is that NATO, collectively, being so strong that the Russians will never do this,...

The right is breaking ranks over Trump and his tariffs | Sidney Blumenthal (The Guardian)
|
|
A trade court ruling is exposing the civil war on the right, as key legal establishment figures oppose the presidentDonald Trump's trade war has become his quagmire: legal, economic and political. On 28 May, the court of international trade ruled his tariffs exceeded his constitutional authority. Point by point, the decision decimated Trump's arguments as flimsy and false, implicitly castigated the Republican Congress for abdicating its constitutional responsibility, and reminded other courts, not least the supreme court, of the judicial branch's obligation to exercise its authority regardless of the blustering of the executive and the fecklessness of the legislative branches.Trump's tariffs, along with his withdrawal of active support for Ukraine and passivity toward his strongman father figure Vladimir Putin, have broken the western alliance, forcing the west to make its own arrangements with China, and cementing the idea for a generation to come that the United States is an untrustworthy and unstab...

Merz Says Western Alliance Has Lifted 'Absolutely' All Range Limits For Arms Sent To Ukraine
On this extended Memorial Day weekend where many Americans will be spending time with family around the grill, and perhaps at local parades and remembrance events, the showdown between NATO and Russia in Ukraine just escalated in a big way.
German Chancellor Friedrich Merz has announced Monday that Germany, France, the UK and US have lifted prior restrictions on how far the weapons they supply to Ukraine can reach. "Absolutely no limits...," he said.

"There are absolutely no range limits anymore for weapons delivered to Ukraine, not from Britain, the French or from us — also not from the Americans," Merz said speaking at a national security forum in Berlin on Monday. "That means Ukraine can defend itself by attacking military positions also in Russia."
Russian media very quickly seized on the comments as rep...
