Meanwhile more professionalism from the highly functional Trump admin. Bolton and Kelly getting into a shouting match in the WH over increased border crossings. Yeah, it’s all under control.

Putin gave his yearly foreign policy speech today. He is very happy with his investment in Trump.
-- He is glad to see the end of the United States as world leader due to a growing number of mistakes. "Empires often think they can make some little mistakes ... because they are powerful. But when the number of these mistakes keeps growing, it reaches a level they cannot sustain."
-- He stated that the US holds some responsibility for the death of Jamal Khashoggi because the Saudi journalist was living in America. "In this regard, the U.S. has a certain responsibility. If someone knows what happens and there was a murder, I hope some evidence is provided. And dependent on that, we will make some decisions."
-- He took pride in Russia’s new hypersonic weapon system will soon be the best in the world. Missile speeds 5x the speed of sound. The U.S. is currently incapable of defending itself against such a system.
-- He is unconcerned with the deteriorating relationships with the West, saying Russia is forging stronger friendships with Asia and the Mideast.
