Germany’s foreign minister says Greenland belongs to Denmark and is therefore covered by NATO. After Trump’s renewed threats—and his follow-through in #Venezuela — NATO may need to discuss strengthening Greenland’s protection. This is no longer theoretical

Deranged, delusional, despotic Don is riding a power high after attacking an impoverished country with an armada — and likely with inside help, to seize its territory and resources. Other nations won’t be such easy pickings for this criminal 🤡.

Economists dismiss Trump’s claims (lies) of ‘stolen oil’ as baseless, noting that #Venezuela nationalized its oil industry as part of a broader wave of 1970s nationalizations in countries like Mexico, Brazil, and Saudi Arabia — and that 🇺🇸 claims of ownership while enforcing sanctions are illogical.
Trump says Venezuela stole U.S. oil, land and assets. Here’s the history.
The government of the oil-rich nation took control of its petroleum industry in 1976, nationalizing hundreds of private businesses and foreign-owned assets.

Donald Trump’s unprovoked and unconstitutional war against Venezuela demolished any notion that we live in a rules-based, constitutional democracy. Instead Trump was allowed to murder, kidnap a head of state, and vow to take oil and "run" a soverign country. MADNESS open.substack.com/pub/contrari...

WH sources say Venezuela's opposition leader committed the "ultimate sin": She accepted the Nobel Peace prize.
“If she had turned it down and said, ‘I can’t accept it because it’s Donald Trump’s,’ she’d be the president of Venezuela today,” one said.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio suggested Sunday that the United States would not take a day-to-day role in governing Venezuela other than enforcing an existing "oil quarantine" on the country, a turnaround after President Donald Trump announced a day earlier that the U.S. would be running Venezuela following its ouster of leader Nicolás Maduro.
