The United States as security guarantor is like Russia as security guarantor - the guarantee not of peace and security, but of war and instability.

To the people of America:
Are you prepared to invade Greenland?
Are you prepared to take it by force?
Will you be ready to attack Canada after that?
Are you prepared to be colonizing imperialists waging war on peaceful democratic nations, including your closest neighbour?
Is this who you wish to be?

The message from the White House is clear: "Give us Greenland or we take it by military force. Surrender to American annexation or we will wage war against you. Fuck the rule of law, fuck democracy, fuck peace, fuck justice."

On the years' old Trump-Putin deal to "swap" Venezuela for Ukraine.

Trump attacks Venezuela. Threatens to bomb Mexico, Promises to take Greenland and annex Canada. THIS is the person who will bring "peace" and "justice" to Ukraine?🤡 NO ONE should be playing along with the Trump regime. The West should isolate the US until Americans oust Trump.

Russia struck yet another health care facility in Ukraine. The attack in Kyiv has left casualties. Patients had to be evacuated from the hospital. The SYSTEMIC attacks on Ukrainian health care is part of Russian GENOCIDE of Ukrainians. We have a LEGAL obligation to STOP genocide!

And there you have it.

"Make no mistake, the attack on Venezuela by the Trump regime is not about removing a rogue leader; it is a deliberate attack on intl law...All bets are off.This is the age of gangsters. Canada must be ready to rise to the threat."

A few arguments for those cheering the Trump Administration's act of aggression against Venezuela to consider:

Recall that Putin's Wagner group was a part of Maduro's personal security. The fact that Maduro was captured so rapidly raises questions about whether he was sold out by Putin in exchange for Ukraine.

Those of us who care about international law and the international rules-based order oppose dictatorships as they are anathema to our core values. Those of you who are cheering Trump today are cheering flushing the rules-based order down the drain. Bow to your evil masters, slaves.

The Trump administratiok CHOSE to violate international law. They CHOSE the path of illegality because they could not get control of Venezuelan natural resources (oil) by lawful means, and to flex muscle and show the world that Trump and clam are ABOVE the law, not subject to it.
January 3, 2026 at 8:31 PM
"Now do Putin" is off the mark by a lot. No need to violate law.
The US has ample legal venue to fight with Ukraine to defeat Russia. The Budapest Memorandum, the Genocide Convention, Collective Right To Self-Defence under sectiom 51 of UN Charter, all create legal duties & right to act to stop RU.
January 3, 2026 at 8:28 PM
The US war on Venezuela is for oil, but control over that oil is about pursuing and having global power. The US is readying for much larger war.

Yes

We either support international law or we don't. Justifications for violations of international law are justifications for the destruction of the legal order. We care about the rule of law or we don't. There is no in between.
January 3, 2026 at 3:01 PM
What better way to show the world you want and are worthy of a Nobel Peace prize than to start an illegal war.

The United States is, right now, attacking Venezuela. This is war. In violation of international law, the Trump administration is unilaterally waging illegal aggression against Venezuela. The US is an aggressor state with zero regard for international law.

Saying Russian attacks on Ukrainian civilians is "nothing but terror," is highly inaccurate.
It is, in fact, MORE than terror.
Moscow is *using* terror as a TOOL to commit genocide of Ukrainians.
This FACT matters a great deal.

The Russian government is militarizing and preparing Russian children to fight in war. Children are being taught to operate drones and participate in other military-related activities in a "Ready for Labor and Defence" program. This is long term war planning.

Russians attacked a hospital in Chernihiv. This targeted, 3 drone attack, is part of a large and systemic Russian pattern to destroy Ukrainian health care infrastructure entirely, to deprive Ukrainians from access to health care.
This is genocide. Russia is pure evil.
