> The EU is still playing the U.S. deep state script and it is very likely that all the Trump pressure and insults are carefully planned political theater.

I find that becoming exceedingly unlikely. Trust has been destroyed, there is no easy recovery from that.

So many odd things have been occurring in the past month that I don't know what to believe any longer.

First, ex-neocon Rubio admitted on the Megyn Kelly show that the world is now multi-polar. Even if he believes that, why would he say so unless it's for show.

Then there is Lindsey Graham. In 2016 he gave warlike speeches to the Azov Batallion:

In 2025 he throws Zelensky under the bus:

Graham and probably Rubio are still neocons. Trump must be really powerful to keep all this under control.

Then there is the U.S. arms lobby, which is uncannily quiet even though they'll lose a ton of business when NATO becomes irrelevant. Then there are no reactions to Polish nuclear ambitions, which is weird unless the whole thing is scripted.

So there are two theories. Either Trump is carving up the world or he is acting.

Elon Musk threatens to spend millions against any republican who deviates from Trump’s policies. Without that threat, the republicans would speak up against this assault on American interest and values. I wonder more if Elon has been compromised than Trump. Or if Russia threaten to trigger the Kessler syndrome, destroying all of Elon’s aspirations of getting off this rock (I’m still skeptical if he’s telling the truth about that), and instructed him to stop the war.
