If this MSNBC story about courts-martial is confirmed, I'm begging people - especially writers and reporters - do not fall for the Trump line that this is about Afghanistan. This is about Trump seeking revenge on the people who woudn't do things like shoot American protesters.

Trump's immediate efforts to stock the government with MAGA types isn't just about loyalty.

It's also about creating the conditions for elite corruption to flourish beyond anyone's expectations. Right wing elites are going to loot the place from top to bottom:

I am heartbroken that USA voters didn't care to support:
A free Europe
NATO
Ukraine

No-one will stop Putin with phone calls. The attack last night, one of the biggest in this war, has proved that telephone diplomacy cannot replace real support from the whole West for Ukraine. The next weeks will be decisive, not only for the war itself, but also for our future - Donald Tusk, Prime Minister of Poland

Long term peace will be achieved by rewarding me this way.
