Charlie Angus / The Resistance - May 29, 2025
EXCERPT: "Donald Trump is driving an agenda of autocracy, and as Timothy Snyder points out in his book On Freedom, autocrats work to promote the interests of other autocrats at the deliberate expense of democratic nations that they see as a threat to klepto-politics.
The New York Times has published a recent analysis of Donald Trump's belief that the world can be divided into three spheres of influence — Russia, China, and the United States. This is the politics of what Anne Applebaum calls Autocracy Incorporated.
In such a world, Canada will never be treated as an ally, a trading partner, or a good neighbour. They want us to become a vassal state serving the US order.
But that ain't going to happen."
