All this talk about the the Trump administration potentially going to war in Venezuela to serve some well connected rich people’s business interests, when in actuality that’s a big part of why the Trump administration is trying to get Ukraine to surrender.
Extraordinary WSJ reporting today that unveils the extent to which Trump, Witkoff, Kushner and US business executives are salivating over business deals with Russia while Putin’s forces kidnap Ukranian children and bomb civilians in their apartments.

Would you interview notorious liar George Santos, let him accuse female journalists reporting on him of being literal and not metaphorical prostitutes, refrain from any pushback, then publish and promote the interview for clicks?

So we pulled out of Afghanistan just to bomb it when Trump’s back in office?
Qatar has officially agreed to the US plan and has given authorisation to conduct airstrikes inside Afghanistan from its airbase.
These operations “are aimed at eliminating high value targets, including senior leaders of Al-Qaeda and ISIS, as well as terrorist training facilities”.

To be explicit, we executed a German U-Boat commander who said he had to sink lifesaving gear / “inadvertently” kill survivors because it might give away his position, thereby potentially resulting in the loss of his submarine.

Dang crazy thing to do to any officers appointed, commissioned, or promoted from 2021-2025, but I’m here for it.
Trump claims “any document” signed by Joe Biden is “hereby terminated.”
He calls out executive orders later but obviously “any document” would be much broader and include legislation.
(He can’t legally do that but, as always, we get to watch how far he can push this without repercussions)
