Some bastards lost the US presidential election. Others won it. The peoples of the world – their food – watched this process, like the heroes of “Jurassic Park” watch a fight between dinosaurs, where both sides are representatives of the fauna hostile to us. The times have come when decent people have no right to […]

Donald Trump’s appearance in the McDonald’s window and his arrival at the stadium where the Pittsburgh Steelers were playing the New York Jets were two of the coolest PR moves by the former and future US president.

In connection with the growing international tension, many recall how signs of preparation for war were detected in the past.
