A Russian propagandist made a joke about Russia giving up nuclear weapons by sending them on rockets to the United States.

I remember a similar joke from 1971 when Leonid Brezhnev and Richard Nixon tested the newly upgraded hotline. Brezhnev said: “I saw the White House in my nightdream last night.” Nixon responded: ”What is unique about that?” “Above it was a red flag with a hammer and sickle on it,” Brezhnev replied. “It is an interesting coincidence,” Nixon said, “because, in my nightdream, I saw the Kremlin with the red flag above it and something written on that flag.” Curious, Brezhnev asked, “I understand the red flag, but what was written on it?” Nixon answered: “I could not figure it out because it was in Chinese.”
That joke is timely because, after the dust settles, China will be the real winner of the war in Ukraine. It might not rule in the Kremlin, but it could de facto control the big part of Siberia.

The media noted that even Trump opponents see potential benefits of DOGE, the Department of Government Efficiency.It is an illusion.
The government’s spending is like a hundreds-head dragon that can grow new heads faster than DOGE can cut them off. The federal government is drowning in the bog of healthcare obligations. Medicare and Obamacare are the causes. But Trump promised not to touch those. Immigration is the next quagmire.
Replacing it with a guest workers policy would cut illegal immigration, allowing cuts on enforcement. Also, it would bring laborers, boosting the economy. However, Trump says there is no spending limit on enforcing with the greater determination the immigration policy that has never worked so far and never will.

Putin always waved that he had atomic bombs. Now, he claims that he might use it if, thanks to the military help, Ukraine might defend itself from being conquered by Russia.
Putin needs to be told that the West is prepared. Our defense will most likely encounter rockets with nuclear weapons before they leave the Russian territory. But we are ready to accept that we might not intercept them all. However, our response will be swift and merciless. Russia, as we know it, will be no longer. In particular, it will be forever deprived of having any nuclear arsenal. I bet that in such a situation, even if Putin decides to press that red button, it will be after some reasonable people in Russia disconnect it from the launchpad. I hope our intelligence services have already arranged that.
