I have too many negative impressions about him to be impartial. But this is indeed a step too far. He basically wants no checks and balances.

What is happening in Israel right now is a preview of what would happen in the US if TFG ever got back in office. Everyone of voting age in the US should be paying attention.

One of the key things Israel had going for it in an argument for why it gets away with certain things (like the Occupation) was that it was the strongest democracy in the Middle East. Don't think gutting the democratic rule is going to serve in the long-term. This is really bad.

Unrelated. But the level of violence in neighboring Colombia is also going up, with some local leaders also assassinated by guerrilla groups.
Of course, when your current president was a guerrilla, I gather the current guerrillas are encouraged.

Also unrelated, but I wonder how it's going in El Salvador these days.

The US press only has the bandwidth to cover selected countries in Western Europe and of course now Ukraine. El Salvador?

Re: World News Random, Random
Bukele remains popular as he continues to crack down gangs, which were effectively ruling the streets of the country. Due process for all these imprisonments is absent, but most people seem not to care.
The economy is not a factor, and since BT stabilized, they have suffered no more in that aspect.
In all: deck B of the Titanic. Not sinking as fast as others (Colombia, Ecuador, Mexico), not deck E, already below water (Venezuela, Argentina) but still one place where I would not even go on vacation.

Dmitry Utkin, founder of Wagner and second in command to Prigozhin, also killed in the crash.
Putin took a few months to get revenge for the Wagner attempted coup — but he got it.
Lulled Prigozhin and Utkin into a false sense of security and then struck.
