The US stayed on top by: 1. Attracting top talent with freedom & growth. 2. Attracting top business via stability & funding. 3. Presiding over global politics via dollar's grip. None of this is replicable by challengers. Why trade all that for intimidation & military force

There should be a plan for russia to withdraw from Ukraine and pay reparations… at the very least. Ideally have Putin face ICC tribunal

Why does @nytimes.com still call Epstein disgraced “financier”… By now it should be apparent that his money was from trafficking underaged girls and blackmailing his clients. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/12/u...

20 yrs back, russia had a choice between - democracy or authoritarianism - oil/gas exports or innovation. To justify their choice they have since invaded Georgia, Ukraine, and are waging a hybrid war on EU. If Putin is to ever step on EU soil it should in Hague. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/17/u...

“I really do feel that way,” he said of Ukraine’s territorial aims. “Let them get their land back.” A blip of hope www.nytimes.com/live/2025/09...

My parents grew up in the Soviet Union, where radios constantly blared about economic prosperity and the collapse of the outside world. This leaves deep scars.

For Americans wondering how Europe sees them

Couldn’t summarize russia’s foreign policy better. Well said 👏

It’s a good time for Europe to attract talent, not the wealthy

Here's the full video of Jimmy Kimmel at the Oscars, without Trump editing out the punchline. "Okay, now, see if you can guess which former president just posted that on Truth Social. Anyone? No? Well, thank you, President Trump. I'm surprised you're still... isn't it past your jail time?"

This is exactly what has been doing on in russia in the early 2000… It ends with oppression, stagnation, poverty… and eventually a need for a war www.nytimes.com/video/us/pol...

This really resonated

A president commissioning murder of his own constituents he is not just a criminal, but a betrayer to his citizens. Of course Putin has also murdered million+ of his own citizen for the purpose of devastating and gaining control over a sovereign nation - so he’s also a war criminal

What do a thriving economy and a healthy democracy have in common? A level playing field and fierce, neck and neck competition. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/16/u...

Fairly so, the hesitancy to call out russia for what they are - ruthless invaders who started a war - is emboldening the war criminal in the Kremlin daily

A critical story that's getting buried today: We're giving up tools and tossing our climate in to a free fall www.nytimes.com/2025/09/12/c...

Too many issues get politicized that shouldn’t. Climate is one of them. Our neglect will affect all, irregardless of political views and religion

Gotta give President Trump some credit for honesty

Years ago, I used to ponder how the most ridiculous videos got the most likes and views. Now, I can't wrap my head around how the most ridiculous people accumulated the most wealth

"The future does not belong to globalists. The future belongs to patriots." Trump at UN in 2019. Now we got 3 nuclear power cozying up with each other… www.nytimes.com/2025/08/31/o...

This ⬇️. The notion that a smaller country should cede to a larger one is basically setting the precedent for constant wars.. until there only is one country

When putin was eroding the russian justice system, it was a newly established, fragile system… US has been blueprint for modern justice for over 200 years www.nytimes.com/2025/08/22/u...

When you roll out the red carpet for a murderous war criminal… www.nytimes.com/2025/08/20/w...

This...

putin wants to Ukraine to cede it’s land and never to join NATO in return for a “written promise to never attack”… If written promises had any value to him - Trump could offer putin a “written promise to never attack” and solve his “root causes”

“…putin offered a written promise not to attack Ukraine or any European country again” russians reputation for keeping their word… just like the Budapest Memorandum

A disastrous moment for democracy and world security.. US leader giving a voice to putin, a brutal dictator and criminal who is actively trying to eradicate a sovereign country by mass daily killings of the Ukrainian population. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/10/w...

If russian state is commissioning criminals/terrorist acts in UK - its an attack on UK @ukparliament.parliament.uk must respond

Lack of sanctions is enabling Russia to: - Indiscriminately bomb civilians - Continue the military assault - Empower threats against NATO Willful blindness / deliberate avoidance is complacency to a crime www.nytimes.com/2025/07/02/u...

If there is a peace prize to be awarded.. it should be to the Ukrainian soldier answering "We're not you"...

Next thing we know, Elon will be blaming ketamine for supporting Trump… lucky for him he looks high in all WH videos www.nytimes.com/live/2025/06...

Hard to imagine a close Musk associate set to run NASA, a Gov agency, to be a Dem supporter.. Sounds more like Trumps disassociation with Musk www.nytimes.com/2025/05/31/u...

US has been dominating in finance, innovation, education, and attracting top talent. China leads in manufacturing, and lately tech. What has russia accomplished? Mind boggling indoctrination? Malicious use of social media to sabotage democracies? www.nytimes.com/2025/05/26/u...

Contagious energy from the MBA team at Iowa University. Thanks for your invaluable insight on our business. It’s initiatives like this that demonstrate why US universities lead the way!

If anyone asked me what makes US great, I’d say: 1) brain gain (ie immigration) 2) higher education 3) freedom

What’s happening to political discourse ‼️ Way too many are quick to: - Pick up any affirmation justifying their views including outward lies (e.g., "Ukraine started it," "France backed Iraq invasion") - Labelling any inconvenient factual evidence as "lies" or "propaganda"

Not everything is in a downfall 📈 Inflation risk is up by over 40% compared to last year

Funny, the countries that didn't get tariffs: Russia North Korea Cuba Venezuela Berlarus Somalia Burkina Faso are, except for Cuba, which abstained, the same countries the US voted together with against the UN resolution condemning Russia's invasion of Ukraine. 🤔
