This is true.
It's the rich guy version of the Dunning-Kruger effect: "Hey, I made all this money, I must be smart about everything"
A hard case of Nietzchean *ressentiment*: gnawing envy, hatred of being left out and an over-weaning sense of self-importance.

It's probably too much to ask that Americans know anything about German politics or party foreign policy, but when the SPD, ffs, thinks the US is wimping out on security and can't be trusted... 🤯

The larger reality is that Vladimir Putin has effectively succeeded in deterring President Joe Biden from helping Ukraine to win this war.

They don't even try to hide their sleaziness. Nor their role as the primary conduits Western intelligence to Russia.
They want to keep lending to Russian soldiers? Do NOT let them back into the Club of Berne.

The Tyranny of the Majority: Adams, Madison, Burke, Tocqueville, J.S. Mill all warned against simple majorities over-riding constitutional and ethical norms.
I fought against it my own country. It wasn't popular.
But if you don't, you end up with mob rule.

As an Estonian I may be accused of bias, but I had nothing to do with this, so I can say this is one of the best analyses I've read on how the West can defeat Russia.
It is well thought-out, rigorous and rational. (As I hope my compatriots always are).

With his smug self-satisfied obstructionist tricks that affect tens of millions in Ukraine, Orbán overplayed his hand at the

Years of manipulating the EU has resulted with disgust and an emerging consensus that with his behavior Hungary is unfit to belong.
