US - The CommentaTHOR

Trump gave what was billed as a “Christmas speech” in rural Pennsylvania this past week that began with his “wishing each and every one of you a very merry Christmas, happy New Year, all of that stuff” and boasting that now, under his presidency, “everybody’s saying ‘merry Christmas’ again.” Then he claimed — contrary to […]

The new Monroe doctrine and a stick for Europe: the us is rewriting its national security strategy (NSS). A quiet revolution has taken place in the US national security landscape. The document, published yesterday on the White House website, is more than just another strategy, typically updated with each new presidential term. “American strategies since […]

The Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia was received with pomp. The Crown Prince (and de facto ruler) of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, Mohammed bin Salman, arrived in Washington on a visit that was formally described as a working one, but was practically designed as a state visit. The prince was greeted with great pomp, […]

If we don’t raise wages at the bottom, we’re all cooked. The Big Mac has a problem that’s partly due to the corporation that makes Big Macs. The Big Mac has a big problem. According to the CEO of McDonald’s, fast food chains saw a double-digit dip in visits from lower- and middle-income customers in […]

Manufacturers were spurred by an appeal and a magical push from President Lee Jae-myung. The “trade deal” between the US and South Korea includes $350 billion in investments by South Korean companies in strategic sectors of the American economy. On Friday, November 14, the “deal” (actually a declaration of intent) was officially agreed upon, and […]

Why are Democrats so undisciplined and Republicans so regimented? The asymmetry explained Chuck Schumer couldn’t hold his senators together at a time when their unity and toughness were essential. Yet Trump cracks the whip and gets all Republicans to do his bidding. Does this mean Schumer should go? Yes. But the problem runs deeper — […]

In New York, an immigrant socialist was elected mayor, in New Jersey and Virginia, female Democrats became governors, and in California, a regulation on changing electoral districts was adopted. In the USA, on November 4, there was, as we would say, a single day of voting. In the USA, this is called the election night […]

I don’t feel commenting any longer, because I constantly feel preempted by mass media and the mainstream politicians. It was simple a while ago. You look at the news with your cynical Russian eyes trained on Soviet nonsense, you recognize the same type of clap-trap, and you mock it. Not any more! No matter how […]

Democrats are talking about authoritarianism and suspect misappropriation of funds. Large banners with a portrait of President Donald Trump have appeared on three federal buildings in Washington, D.C. The National Guard’s checkpoints, which continue to serve in the capital, add a sense of severity to the image (with Trump squinting grimly in the portraits). Democrats […]

Charlie Kirk (and the youthful part of MAGA that he represented) was one of those rare US politicians with whom it was possible to establish normal relations on the basis of the protection of traditional values. The fact that no steps in this direction have been taken so far (on our part) is due to […]
