First Read: In the United States, President Trumps push for a border wall has now partially shut down the federal government for 26 days and counting.
And in Britain, Prime Minister Theresa May suffered the biggest parliamentary defeat of any British prime minister in history Tuesday as lawmakers of all stripes crushed her plan to leave the European Union, per NBC News.
These developments plus the instability in France and Germany show just how politically crippled the West is right now. And, oh by the way, guess which country meddled in the 2016 elections in Britain and the United States?

(39,343 posts)Russia never stopped fighting the Cold War and they're winning it now.
In all of their time trying, Russia never was able to close the government. But their asset has shut it and today we are heading towards a correction or maybe a recession if it goes long enough. trump will never reopen the government unless he gets 100% of what he wants from the Dems ( and thankfully they're holding firm).
I view the shutdown and refusal to sign anything that passes Congress as an act of continued treason and aggression by trump. Why hasn't this been lumped together by more people yet?
