The US government is now freely killing people at sea, in other lands, and on its own streets.
It is difficult to see what more is needed for Congress and the Supreme Court to exercise their constitutional duty to check and balance what is now a rogue state abroad and a gangster state at home.

During Fiona Hill's testimony to Congress on Oct 14, 2019, she described how Trump and Putin discussed exchanging Ukraine for Venezuela. The quid pro quo was if Trump refuses to help Ukraine fight off a Russian invasion, Putin would not help Venezuela (a Russian ally) resist a US takeover.

It's wild that the PM of a NATO member feels compelled to put out a statement like this vis-à-vis the US government.

First Venezuela, next Greenland?
You don't suck up to bullies like Trump, he will just see it as a sign of weakness.
Keir Starmer needs to get on the phone to our European allies including the Danish PM, and show a united front against Trump's threats.
