He’s utterly unhinged and out of control. Congress could stop this in an instant, but its ruling party, the GOP, has become equally untethered from principle or reality. Too many Americans still cheering this on without any comprehension of the disastrous consequences, for themselves or the world.
President Trump suggested on Sunday that the U.S. could take action against other countries after its attack on Venezuela. He threatened Colombia and its president, described Cuba as “ready to fall” and reasserted his desire to take control of Greenland.

"Hernández boasted that he would 'stuff the drugs up the gringos’ noses' while trafficking more than 500 tons of cocaine into the US.

"Trump freed him, saying, 'If somebody sells drugs in that country, that doesn’t mean you arrest the president and put him in jail'..."

Two Latin American strongmen were charged with drug trafficking. One was captured as part of a military raid, the other is free thanks to a Trump pardon.

Everyone, in and out of America keeps hoping/assuming that surely, eventually, something or someone will stop Trump. Some constitutional guardrail. Some court ruling. Some level of corruption, scandal or abuse too big to be ignored. We wait, and wait in vain. Better to act for ourselves.
I think the world is in disbelief at the shock and awe speed at which the US is unravelling, the reality of what they have become seems to be too much too quick for leaders to digest and act on. Europe / The west need to discuss the unthinkable of how do we uncouple and protect ourselves from the US

The notion of "free speech" on a platform manipulated ideologically is an intriguing one.

I would have thought "suppressed speech" would be closer to the mark.

Admiral Holsey retired very suddenly in Dec 2025, Hegseth's actions are politicizing the military. Plenty of signs that this article was the strategy laid out.

Next step? Will tRump withdraw from NATO so he can go after Greenland? He already talks of NATO as something the US sells arms to...

Interesting & probably accurate assessment of the Trump-Vance administration mentality.

Let‘s see how smoothly Venezuela transitions into cooperative vassal state. If it turns out to be a disaster for the U.S. maybe that will put a damper on future colonization projects.

Iin many ways this article reads as bang up to date. It doesn’t have a single mention of Venezuela, but look at a map, and ask yourself if the latest action by the orange loon is compatible with his alleged “Lebensraum” intent. Read just the “Conclusions” section if you’re pushed for time.
