En proceso de decrecimiento material y crecimiento personal post pico del petróleo
Towards material degrowth & personal growth post peak oil
Essential indeed.
Very well explained. I hope @zackpolanski.bsky.social and @greenparty.org.uk members get themselves familiarised with these concepts. It will very much determine what policies are possible and how to interpret geopolitical events in the coming years

So yesterday Trump mused about a 3rd term, said ideally he'd cancel elections because Democrats are evil, and today it emerged that he's appropriated all the proceeds of Venezuela's oil industry

can we (ie number 10) *please* stop saying US is our closest ally.

We don’t need to call Farage names.

Brexit’s record does that for us - a catastrophic failure.

Alongside a whole lot of donations from some pretty questionable sources.

Funny how loud the insults get when the facts start to land.

No one is asking Wes Streeting to be a commentator.

Asking him to be a government minister when the whole world can see Trump breaking international law whilst threatening Greenland next, and the Cabinet (with Nigel Farage) seems perfectly fine with it.
Wes Streeting is asked if Trump has broken international law when it comes to Venezuela. Streeting says he's got nothing to add and he's not here to be a commentator.

I mean, which idiot thinks politicians should answer questions when they're being interviewed in a TV studio!

It’s wealth extraction.

"This was a law enforcement operation," said Marco Rubio, the guy Trump said would "run" Venezuela, explaining why Congress did not need to authorize its invasion & attack. Offering further proof of the "law enforcement operation," Trump told reporters he spoke to oil company execs before going in.

Five days into the Government's 'strong start to January.' Day 1 blame the voters. Day 2, blame the civil service. Days 3-5, ignore international law.

Voters & civil service didn't make a Labour government cut winter fuel payments & refuse a wealth tax.

Darren Jones saying repeatedly the Labour Government won't comment on a hypothetical.

It's not hypothetical - Trump is saying very loudly repeatedly what he's done and boasting about it.

And yet the UK Government won't even say it's a breach of international rules. Shameful.

Starmer and Farage both drape themselves in flags but once again it's really clear where their loyalty really is.

It's Trump first. They will always be on the side of the super rich and powerful - no matter how heinous the crime.

El “Make Venezuela Great Again” de Trump significa devolverla al periodo 1908-1935 cuando el dictador Juan Vicente Gómez cedió a cambio de mordidas el control del 98% del petróleo nacional a 3 compañías extranjeras. En 1976 Carlos Andrés Pérez lo nacionalizó en defensa de la soberanía económica👇

D todas las razones de este nuevo ataque terrorista d USA, esta es la q más me convence:
La verdadera razón por la que USA invade Venezuela se remonta a un acuerdo que Henry Kissinger hizo con Arabia Saudita en 1974.
Y voy a explicar por qué se trata de la supervivencia del dólar estadounidense.
