Every dictator guilty of crimes against humanity¹ deserves to be arrested and sent directly to The Hague.
What makes the U.S.' arrest of #Maduro problematic is the potentially disproportionate military strike and the lack of an ICC warrant – the one that Argentina had demanded in 2024.² #Venezuela

A $5$-Approximation Analysis for the Cover Small Cuts Problem
Miles Simmons, Ishan Bansal, Joe Cheriyan
https://arxiv.org/abs/2602.01462 https://arxiv.org/pdf/2602.01462 https://arxiv.org/html/2602.01462
arXiv:2602.01462v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: In the Cover Small Cuts problem, we are given a capacitated (undirected) graph $G=(V,E,u)$ and a threshold value $\lambda$, as well as a set of links $L$ with end-nodes in $V$ and a non-negative cost for each link $\ell\in L$; the goal is to find a minimum-cost set of links such that each non-trivial cut of capacity less than $\lambda$ is covered by a link. Bansal, Cheriyan, Grout, and Ibrahimpur (arXiv:2209.11209, Algorithmica 2024) showed that the WGMV primal-dual algorithm, due to Williamson, Goemans, Mihail, and Vazirani (Combinatorica, 1995), achieves approximation ratio $16$ for the Cover Small Cuts problem; their analysis uses the notion of a pliable family of sets that satisfies a combinatorial property. Later, Bansal (arXiv:2308.15714v2, IPCO 2025) and then Nutov (arXiv:2504.03910, MFCS 2025) proved that the same algorithm achieves approximation ratio $6$. We show that the same algorithm achieves approximation ratio $5$, by using a stronger notion, namely, a pliable family of sets that satisfies symmetry and structural submodularity.

Donald Trump on Saturday appeared to link the massive attack he ordered against Iran to his persistent claims about his 2020 election loss to former president Joe Biden, in a social media post about allegations that Tehran’s government interfered in the US president elections.
“Iran tried to interfere in 2020, 2024 elections to stop Trump,” his Truth Social post said, “and now faces renewed war with United States”.

Then-candidate Donald Trump famously remarked two weeks before the Iowa caucuses in 2016 that he could
"stand in the middle of Fifth Avenue and shoot somebody"
and he "wouldn't lose any voters."
Last year, Trump's lawyer suggested in federal court that a president could order SEAL Team Six to assassinate a political rival and — unless he was impeached and convicted by Congress — be immune from criminal prosecution
Increasingly, Trump's …
