Summary
Russian state TV hosts are celebrating Donald Trump’s Cabinet picks, claiming they could “dismantle America.”
Figures like Vladimir Solovyov praised the nominees, including Kash Patel for FBI director and Tulsi Gabbard for intelligence, as a “radical dream team” likely to undermine U.S. institutions.
Critics in the U.S. warn that Trump’s selections, including conspiracy theorists and controversial figures like Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Pete Hegseth, signal plans to weaken federal agencies.
I’d never heard of the bird cage economy idea, I’ll definitely look into it.

Would you DM me if your Chinese friend recommends any english-language works?
I would. I’ll ask him. But he’s not much of a reader. He was there teaching art. What kind of books are you looking for?
Oh and he’s American. He just moved to Shanghai for about three years to teach. His Mandarin is decent but not fantastic. But what can I say, I don’t speak a word of it myself.
History, politics, anything that would help understand modern China really.
