The oligarchy is fully entrenched. Press pool now under POTUS control. Checks and balance going by the wayside for authoritarianism. No speculation here. The actions (which of course speaks louder than words) of this administration cannot be construed any other way. It's blatantly obvious. I'm sure there will be more degradation of democratic principles to come, but a great deal of change has already occurred. Scary times.
Wonder if Canada will have to rethink it's policy of no nuclear weapons. If the Ukraine still had theirs, Putin may have thought twice about attacking and invading.
