Dangerous and cruel — Trump’s reported Crimea proposal

The potential recognition of Crimea’s annexation sets very dangerous precedent that could plunge the world into numerous wars

“Ukraine should not side with those intending to violate the fundamental principles established after World War II,” he added.

“So will Trump’s attempt to bully the Fed succeed? …given how quickly Trump has been able to subvert or destroy many other government institutions, it’s hard to feel confident that he can’t do the same to the Fed. …taking over the Fed would cause the dollar to plunge while long-term interest rates soar as investors expect higher inflation.”

“As a consequence of Trump’s destructive tariff regime, the Fed will soon face a dilemma. Should it raise interest rates to fight inflation, or should it cut rates to fight recession? It’s a really hard call… Trump has made Powell’s dilemma even worse with his attempted bullying…”

A thought for this Holy Week.

Crucifixion was not about execution; not really. There are much easier ways to accomplish that. It isn't even about torture, though it was torturous.

Crucifixion is a means of shaming someone into oblivion. It is an extreme form of bullying: one in which the Roman goons assert dominance by publicly degrading their victim to death.

There are several clues in the gospel stories that the shame of crucifixion was far worse than we imagine.

I say this not to dwell on suffering. But if you have suffered shame and degradation; if you have been disposed of and mocked and your reputation destroyed; you are in the best of company. They did this to Jesus. And the shaming of this righteous man is turned right back on his bullies in the crucifixion. The mirror Jesus holds up to our lives, that we might see ourselves more truly, now casts that shame back on them.

God is the bullied one, and the one who stands against all bullies. He endures even this for our sake; and in the end, his Father raises him from the grave to new life. He is vindicated. And in him, so are you.

This is simple bully tactics. Lead with ‘I have power now & I can hurt you’. Follow with ‘if you are nice to me I’ll only hurt you a bit. Anyone who resists with be punished’. Everyone is cowed & falls in line. There must always be a scapegoat to be an example to others, everyone knows that any day it could be them.

The dynamic is so familiar to anyone who experienced bullying in school. I wonder if this is how the sad man who is driving this was parented? He has clearly learned that being the one running the protection racket is the only way to be safe.

Our cultural acceptance & normalising of #bullying & #CoerciveControl in families, schools, relationships, business & governance enables these abuses.

"I’ve said before that Trump does not think of policy the way most of us do, operating instead like a low-level mob boss running a protection racket. Unfortunately, a bunch of rubes decided to give him another bite at the apple, and now the entire global economy has to pay up."

"The only legible purpose of the tariffs is for Trump to arrogate more power to himself: so that nations and corporate leaders and labor unions come begging him for relief, and so that he can shake them down."

"Trump’s son Eric appeared to confirm that the tariffs are a shakedown when he posted: 'I wouldn’t want to be the last country that tries to negotiate a trade deal with [Trump]. The first to negotiate will win—the last will absolutely lose. I have seen this movie my entire life.…'”
