Northam, Crimea is Russian, historically speaking, and 75 percent of the population is ethnically Russian. The only way to deal with MAGA is with the facts ... Myth #12 - Crimea was always Russian (Chatham House) *Crimea has been in Russian hands for only a fraction of its history.* If unchallenged, the Kremlin’s fiction that Crimea willingly and legitimately ‘rejoined’ Russia risks further undermining Ukraine’s territorial integrity and encouraging other expansionist powers.

CHINA WON, trump/US LOST: Wall Street Journal Dunks On Trump In Stinging New Editorial The newspaper also called out the "MAGA echo chamber" for backing the president's tariffs. By Ed Mazza Apr 24, 2025, 05:02 AM EDT The Wall Street Journal said President Donald Trump is “finally listening to reality” as he caves on his tariff agenda and backs off his threats to try to fire Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell. “The MAGA media echo chamber that praised Mr. Trump’s tariffs as strategic genius looks foolish,” the newspaper’s editorial board wrote on Wednesday evening. Trump placed massive tariffs on nearly every nation, causing markets to crash, then paused most of them except for those on China. Then, he issued carve-outs for specific types of products coming from China. And on Wednesday, he appeared to be backing away from the remaining tariffs on China as well, saying they “ will come down substantially.” “Another harsh reality is that China called Mr. Trump’s bluff and seems to have won this round,” the Journal said in its assessment of the move. The newspaper noted that Chinese President Xi Jinping “retaliated with some restraint” to Trump during his first term in office. But not this time. “He retaliated in tit-for-tat fashion and pushed all of his anti-U.S. economic and diplomatic levers,” the editorial board wrote. “He has cut off U.S. access to crucial rare-earth minerals, stopped the delivery of Boeing jets, looked elsewhere for food and natural-gas imports, and unleashed regulators against American companies.” Jinping also warned other nations not to make deals with the US that didn’t include China. “With even U.S. allies facing Mr. Trump’s tariff assault, Beijing’s threat has resonated in a way that it never previously did,” the newspaper said. “U.S. diplomatic sway is ebbing.” It urged Trump to take the “path to political survival” and continue to back away from his aggressive tariffs.
