The “peace” and “no more wars” president: leave Europe to Russia, and Asia to China while the U.S. celebrates “wins” in its “sphere of influence” against decaying countries with barely functional militaries.

Right-winger MAGAs and associated extremists: make up your mind. We thought Trump had vowed to not “impose democracy” on anyone, as he reassured the oil sheikhs that bankroll him. Oh right, “democracy” will be imposed on everyone who doesn’t pay the protection racket.

The lovers of Putin in the Congress: kidnapping Maduro was to “prevent an imminent attack” on US personnel just like Putin’s full-scale invasion of 2022 was purely “preventative” in nature, right?

Never forget what MAGA stood for: “U.S. law is the international law” in the Western hemisphere, and of course Russian “law” is the law for Europe, while Chinese “law” is the law for East Asia.

Russia: Trump is hinting at us we should do the same with Zelensky and Budanov. The point isn’t that Russia has been trying to do this for 4 years. The point is in the legitimation of the intent.

Not coincidentally, the Indian troll farms working on behalf of Putin and Trump are using fakes and old videos to justify Trump’s glorious military action against Venezuela.

Meanwhile, Russian terror will come to you even if you are an African tribal herder minding your own business in the most remote locations. Because “great power interests” and “security concerns,” right?

In 2019, it was about the oil. In 2026, it’s about democracy and the law.

There is a good case to be made that Trump and Rubio are not only not fighting narcoterrorists but are actively involved in installing and supporting narcoterrorists as leaders across the entirety of Latin America. To be perfectly honest, that is very traditionally American.

Dan is right. Even if the scale of the two “operations” is very different, why are Americans so tolerant of this slide into open gangsterism? Many Russians did protest, risking their lives.

Europe isn’t facing “civilisational erasure” due to people of colour. To the contrary, their presence is key to the success and prosperity of a future Europe. It is nativism, racism and embedded Islamophobia that do, indeed, pose an existential risk to Europe.

I couldn’t agree more. There continues to be a narrative that Putin invaded Ukraine to plunder its minerals. Plunder he will but that’s not why he did it. The plunder is merely the side revenue that helps seal the loyalty of oligarchs and associated consiglieri.

This take is blatantly false. Article 2 of the 1949 Geneva Conventions stipulates that international armed conflict is a “matter of fact” independent of how it is presented. With its violation of Article 2(4) of the UN Charter, the U.S. has now initiated a war with Venezuela.

One of the many FSB/GRU run “citizen activist” accounts that Musk has made great again on his genocidal “social” platform.
