A nice convo with mom and dad can always yield some new ideas, so if all you get from this video is "give your parents a call" - I'll consider that a win. The TLDR of our convo is that you shouldn't expect good policy from the Trump Administration.

I've been on the receiving end of more than a few theories on what might be contributing to the absurdity that we're seeing. One of the more interesting ideas is that there could be some Christian ultranationalism on the table.

Understanding that makes Russia's strategy of expansion and occupation towards defensible borders clearer.
