They are the Palestinians of North America: those natives who are to be violently subdued, destroyed and deported. Obnoxious.

It's heartbreaking to watch #Greenland's Foreign Minister. She's almost crying when talking about the tensions/dangers faced by her people. This will be a litmus test for Europe and for what being European really means.

Violations of democratic principles and the rule of law are commonplace in the US. Read the story of this Sierra Leone (SL) national who lived in the US, raised her child and pay taxes. She was deported by #ICE to Ghana, then to SL. Injustice is the rule.

Poutine, Trump et un continent dans la tenaille : 10 points sur la défense européenne en 2026

10 points sur la défense européenne en 2026

En bombardant le Venezuela et en capturant son président Maduro, les États-Unis viennent de commencer l’année en mettant en action le corollaire Trump de la doctrine Monroe sur « leur hémisphère ». Alors que la pression des Russes s’accroît sur l’Ukraine au même moment, les responsables européens sont confrontés à des choix potentiellement radicaux pour préserver la liberté du continent.

Senator Bernie Sanders calls on the democratic world (Europe) to condemn Trump's "rank imperialism".

But his words have fallen on deaf ears here in Europe, where our leaders have been too scared to criticise the US invasion of Venezuela.

16 hours in, my guess this was all intended basically as a coup to put VP Delcy Rodriguez in power (likely without her knowledge but 🤷).

At least for democracy & human rights, that might be even worse than the "opening shots in a war" scenario.

All speculation, but let me explain:

If a government recognises Palestinian statehood then it recognises its right to exist. On that basis, that government cannot continue to fund and arm a state that is explicitly trying to destroy the newly recognised state.

Otherwise you’re just doing an actual virtue signal.
