I am pleased to announce that I have commandeered my neighbor's home. This home will be sold at its Market Price, and that money will be controlled by me, to ensure it is used to benefit my neighbor and me! Thank you for your attention to this matter!

Excellent point here from an expert in international relations. Trump’s brand of authoritarianism is, at its core, an aesthetic. He does not seek to achieve policy goals—he seeks a global reputation for appearing powerful.
What is just crazy about this, aside from the need for this statement at all, is that Greenland already IS in the US sphere of influence. It's far cheaper for the US, in material, security, and reputational terms, to have Denmark continue administering Greenland and work within NATO on security.

A reminder that, in the midst of everything else, the Trump administration is an incredible combination of entitlement and sloppiness.

Did Maduro and Trump plan this capture to make Trump look strong while letting Maduro live (and bring wife). Never seen a captive so calm. Watch this www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8y3RqX6/
Maduro is way to calm for being “captured” starting to seem like a planned ‘capture’ between maduro and trump. #maduro #trump #venezuela #dea #wedding

"When Trump and the buffoons who surround him invaded Venezuela and captured Maduro, they broke with almost a century of American-led respect for the international rule of law and, instead, nakedly embraced the Putin Doctrine."
Trump Didn’t Merely Borrow Strongman Tactics: He Imported an Entire Doctrine Built to Kill Democracies

Just watched the new Knives Out and I think it's really important you know that the scene in the Seminary's Gym is filmed in the same place Rick Astley filmed the music video for Never Gonna Give You Up.
I saw the window tracery and immediately made my friends pause the film so I could tell them.
