CHILLING. Timothy Snyder: It's not even simply American imperialism. It is America enabling Russian imperialism. [View all]
Three-post thread on Bluesky:
Important to realize that Trump’s approach to Canada and Greenland is like his approach to Ukraine. It’s not even simply American imperialism. It is America enabling Russian imperialism. (1/3)

It’s 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)

That’s 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)
