Kidnapping the leader of a foreign state without any declaration of war and announcing it via social media is full-on rogue state stuff. From the world’s number one superpower.

Americans should have known when their ‘President of Peace’ gave himself a War Department. No Congressional approval, nothing… Trump has turned the US into a lawless rogue state.
In unrelated news, I’m sure, Venezuela has the largest oil reserves in the world, far ahead of Saudi Arabia and Canada.

‘Black’ isn’t the original main English word for this colour.
In Old English, that was ‘sweart’. It’s the ancestor of ‘swart’, the now archaic cognate of German ‘schwarz’, Dutch ‘zwart’, and Swedish ‘svart’.
‘Black’ gradually displaced ‘swart’ during the late Middle Ages.

“Forget about intelligence” is a pretty good mantra for this administration
Host: Are you saying the US did not see intelligence that the Supreme Leader had ordered weaponization?
Rubio: That’s irrelevant
Host: No, that's a key point

this is a good post and "decadence" is a good way to think about a lot of things. true decadence is, eg, thinking you could let an insurrection go unpunished and the country would just keep chugging along nbd

That only happened just now, of course, because we screwed over a European country. It did not happen for the decades of funding autocrats and genocidal wars in Asia and Africa and South America because they don't count. How edifying
The US is now on the side of the big, autocratic, nationalist countries against the democracies. A world of transaction, drained of values, in which might makes right if you are big and the small are expected to capitulate.
