A dominant theme of Hitler's speeches in the late 1930s is that Germany was surrounded by threats. These threats were imaginary: it was Nazi Germany that threatened other nations. But they were used to justify pre-emptive attacks. Trump is following this script.

Russia’s Ministry of Defense confirmed the strike on Lviv with Oreshnik missile, claiming it was a “retaliation” for an attack on Putin’s residence — which actually never occurred.

Not everyone believed me when I wrote that Trump wants Greenland becuase it would make him feel important, but that's what he told the NYT:

When asked why he needed to possess the territory, he said: “Because that’s what I feel is psychologically needed for success"

Any Western troops will be classed as foreign interference in Russia's Ukraine, and be considered as military targets, just like hospitals, schools and apartment blocks are.

Worth your time...it's long, but worth it.
A very long and important THREAD -

The real reason the US is invading Venezuela goes back to a deal Henry Kissinger made with Saudi Arabia in 1974.

And I'm going to explain why this is actually about the SURVIVAL of the US dollar itself.
