Trump Declares Venezuelan Airspace Closed
President Trump said days earlier that the United States could “very soon” expand its campaign of killing people at sea suspected of drug trafficking to attacking Venezuelan territory.

Oder man könnte sagen: Mark Carney, alles richtig gemacht!
Oder man kann es ernsthaft politisch analysieren: dann müsste man urteilen, das Trump damit die Zukunft dieses Fantasiegremiums besiegelt hat. Solange die Mitgliedschaft von der Laune eines Operettenkönigs abhängig ist, wird es keinerlei Relevanz haben.

Reminder: The Jan 6th attack on the Capitol was an act of treason. Those who committed it, planned it, and egged it on are guilty of treason, for they declared war on the United States.
Anyone trying to cover it up or pretend it didn't happen is giving aid to America's enemies, who declared war on the United States. That is also treason.
No, this is not hyperbole. This is fact. This is a national disgrace.

The Wikipedia article also includes this sentence in its opening paragraph:
❝However, France only controlled a small fraction of this area, most of which was inhabited by Native Americans; effectively, for the majority of the area, the United States bought the preemptive right to obtain Indian lands by treaty or by conquest, to the exclusion of other colonial powers.❞
Britannica has nothing like that. It discusses the Louisiana Purchase without a single mention that the indigenous people of North America even exist.

A new Trump administration program is sidestepping the regulatory system that's overseen the nuclear industry for half a century.
The program will fast-track construction of new and untested reactor designs built by private firms,

Wildfires can benefit forests by clearing old debris, leaving behind fertilizer, and more. For over a century, the United States has poured billions of dollars into fire suppression tactics to keep people, homes and critical environments safe, but suppression can deprive landscapes of necessary burns and increase potential fuel for large fires in the future.

The effort to create authoritarianism is more likely to lead to a breakup of the state than to a total regime change.
This end of the United States is possible, in part,
because our president and vice-president think that it is impossible.

without reckoning with the possibility that their actions can wreck the country.

Venezuela Live Updates: Trump Says U.S. Will ‘Run' Country After Capture of Maduro
President Trump offered few details about how the United States would oversee Venezuela and for how long, but said its oil industry would “make a lot of money” under U.S. leadership. President Nicolás Maduro and his wife were being taken to New York to stand trial on drug and weapons charges.

Now #TheAmericanFascist has appointed an 'envoy' to help convince Greenlanders to ditch Denmark and join the USA. Denmark is shocked and angered, as they should be. Greenlanders are wholly opposed.
There is poetic irony of a Louisiana politician being tapped to lead a "Greenland Purchase" by America. I very much doubt the result will be the same. But there are some interesting parallels.
Lousisiana Purchase (1808)
a) Made possible by squabbles and warring in Europe.
b) involved purchase of 2.14 million km2 of North America for $380 Million in 2024 dollars. Greenland is 2.17 million km2.
It's difficult to fathom just how undervalued the Louisana Purchase was...nevermind the whole — selling Indigenous Lands without Treaty — issue. But hey... that would be another parallel with today's Inuit and Greenland Peoples.
Back in the modern context, America's Fascists just want to do Fascist things like take over sovereign countries and oppress nations, not unlike Hitler, the Kaiser's Germany, the Napoleans, Imperial Britain, Conquistador-ist Spain, and Tsarist-Stalinist-Putinist Russia.
This all needs to be kept -- forefully if need be -- in the past. We cannot allow these regressive dictators to come back.

Trump’s policies are helping “to create a world without America,”
said Robert Z. Lawrence, a professor of international trade and investment at Harvard.
And “it’s not only in trade,” he added.
Other countries, for example, have continued to gather for Group of 20,
health and climate summits
even though the United States did not participate.

“There is no conceivable way America can claim, although no doubt it will, that the action was taken in self-defence. If you are going to use self-defence you have to have a real and honest belief that you are about to be attacked by force. No one has suggested that the Venezuelan army is about to attack the United States … The idea that [Maduro] is some sort of drug supremo cannot prevail against the rule that invasion for the sake of regime change is unlawful.”
