The democratic world will have to get along without America. It may even have to defend itself from it
I wonder if we have underestimated the gravity of the situation the democratic world faces.
Even now, as the United States hurtles toward autocracy – the petty grotesqueries perhaps tell the story better than anything else: a reporter barred from the White House for not using the name “Gulf of America,” President Donald Trump naming himself chair of the Kennedy Center by a “unanimous” vote of its board – the tendency is still to describe events in relatively conventional terms. For example, the “mistakes” that Mr. Trump is said to have made in his dealings with Vladimir Putin, of the United States as an “unreliable ally” under Mr. Trump, and so forth.
Now that it’s been exposed that Thomson Reuters was being paid by the American govt through USAID, we know why Andrew Coyne has been screaming like a lunatic at Trump and Musk.
The Globe and Mail is owned by Thomson Reuters. Coyne’s newspaper is in deep shit. pic.twitter.com/LhNY9HBamV

Any questions?
