I hope Sue Biniaz’s take (and she is in a position to know these things having worked on the issues a long time at State) that the US could rejoin the UNFCCC easily, is what happens. I also hope thar groups litigate the withdrawal as well though am less confident that would win in court.
"Because the U.S. entered the UNFCCC with advice and consent of the Senate in 1992, it’s our legal view that it also must be exited using the same process in reciprocation... Letting this lawless move stand could shut the U.S. out of climate diplomacy forever"

Sooo… for all the talk of the need to support international law in this statement, no mention of the illegality of a country militarily swooping in to abduct the ruler of another country? We save those statements for aggressors like Putin & Xi, but not Trump. Gotcha.

Some professional geopolitical analysts are taking discussion by Trump and his allies about gaining control of Greenland very seriously, which I think is necessary:

As I've long argued, the Greenland risk is underpriced
A possible US intervention in Greenland is the biggest source of risk to the transatlantic alliance and intra-NATO and intra-EU cohesion, arguably far greater than those presented by Russia's invasion of Ukraine.

If Ru/Ch are behind Trump, “chaos reigns” sounds like a win from their perspective.
Yes, our new national security doctrine, now called the Donroe Doctrine, is one of surrender, not war.
And it guarantees a future for America that is less prosperous, less safe, and less free.
And it guarantees a future for America that is less prosperous, less safe, and less free.
We must also marvel at the titanic idiocy of our new "Donroe Doctrine" for it turns America from a global power into a regional one by choice.
I still can't really believe they are going through with this for it is so batshit f-ing crazy, and does so much lasting harm to our interests.

True. Albeit there is precedent of oil industry publicly messaging one thing while lobbying or back room pressuring for another. In Canada for Kyoto oil industry constantly said they had priced it in & were good to go, but then Harper killed it saying it wasn’t feasible / too expensive. Go figure.
The amount of “this is clearly about oil” posting across all platforms as story after story comes out where the oil industry is saying that the oil isn’t worth extracting is making me feel a little insane

Rubio has been thinking about how to move the game pieces to the places needed to bring down the Cuban regime for 30 years.
Trump has experienced cognitive collapse and Vance is sinking into very online groyper delusions, but Rubio is an intelligent and ruthless operator not to be underestimated.

Best take I’ve heard, IRL: “This operation looks like it was designed by the same people who did the East Wing.”
This makes the Iraq War seem well planned.

Pro democracy arab intellectuals used to say that there was a difference between the US and Russia or China, because the US at least rhetorically espoused particular ideals. That space between reality and rhetoric could be leveraged, they thought.

New: Trump admin officials tell Zeteo that Trump is “very interested” in secret plans drawn up last year to send US Special Forces into Mexico.
One official even says Trump recently asked for updates on preparations for a possible operation.

This piece refuses to mention that Musk personally restored the count of a user who shared CSAM material on the platform, and *pays that user to be on the platform*. Why do cover up this pertinent fact? And why is the author’s byline linked to their profile on the child sexual abuse platform?
