Three-post thread on Bluesky:

Itâs America destroying its own best alliances, cutting itself off from its own crucial bases, making a Russian nuclear first strike on the US easier, opening Arctic territories that were once safe to Russian expansion. (2/3)

Thatâs the one logic that makes it all make sense. There is no conception of US interests, including an imperial one, in which this makes sense. (3/3)
