It used to be that the United States would use Voice of America and Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty to transmit truth across the borders of repressive regimes. Now the work of American reporters, having been censored, is being smuggled across the border to reach Americans.

The Trump administration seemingly embraces a Machiavellian approach to governance, but what does Machiavelli actually say about how government should run, and how would Machiavelli grade the first year of Trump's second term based on his seminal work, _The Prince_?

The "Unitary Executive": Machiavelli's The Prince and Trump 2.0
While recently rereading Machiavelliās The Prince, I couldnāt help but compare and contrast his advice to the past year of the Trump administration.

Whatever else I might say about them, Nigeria, Rwanda, Uganda, and Somalia all have long standing and mostly warm relationships with the United States. Nigeria and Cote DāIvoire are keystones in West Africa. All of this is incoherent from a strategic standpoint (because this isnāt about strategy).

Thereās a visceral level of psychopathy necessary to put your name on a memorial for a president that was assassinated that Iām fundamentally incapable of understanding. The sheer sense of inability to comprehend an existence of things outside yourself like this is astounding.

Not only this but the Daily Wire continues to put people like Matt Walsh and Michael Knowles in front of a massive audience where it allows them to routinely advocate extreme right-wing views. Benās political project has been a massive cause of all of this.

Thai army soldier posing next to a Ukrainian-made BTR-3 armored vehicle. Thailand may be the only country with functional BTR-3s at this point, as I'm not sure Ukraine has any still running or is manufacturing more. Note also the improvised wood slat armor and the ancient M16A1 he's carrying.
