Denmark is a NATO member state.
Mexico, Colombia, and Venezuela (and Cuba, formally) are OAS member states.
Trump in a single gaggle on Air Force One just threatened:

-- a second strike against Venezuela
-- Cuba
-- Mexico
-- Colombia
-- Iran
-- Greenland (which in turn would be an attack on the EU and Denmark)

You can have democracy or you can have a military that fixes the mistakes of the electorate. You can’t have both.

Democracy dies when the press uncritically lauds the most ethically and Constitutionally perilous military action of our lifetimes.

You want civilian control of the military in a democracy. Well, this is it. Elect better civilians.

You want the military to be part of the checks and balances? That’s a praetorian guard.
Real black pilled on the military. The oath means absolutely nothing at all, apparently. Happy to be praetorians, just as long as the check clears.

❗️62% of 🇺🇸Americans want 🇺🇦Ukraine to win the war against 🇷🇺Russia, and 64% support the supply of weapons from the US — Reagan Institute poll.

Support has grown in both parties: 59% of Republicans and 75% of Democrats.

Democrats have flipped 2 seats in the Mississippi senate, and in so doing they've broken the GOP's supermajority in the chamber.

mamdani is human. he'll fuck up and fail, especially with a hostile press and the giant mess that is nyc's politics. but today is a great day for the brave women who told what cuomo did, and for those of us who care that it should matter. that power shouldn't go to those who hurt the poweless.
I'm happy that Mamdani won. But I won't let that get in the way of my celebrating Cuomo losing.

The Irish front runner for pres is wrong for peace in Europe. Ru can't be stopped diplomatically. Trump nearly ended mil aid; 9mo of talks got nothing. Ru refuses a ceasefire. Calling Ru's war illegal is useless w/o helping Ukr. If Connolly gets her way, Europe wld be helping Ru win through inaction

Every time Dems cooperate with this regime they lose more respect and credibility. I want to see the Dems repeating Mitch McConnell’s stonewalling of President Obama, where they refuse to work with their political opponents on ANYTHING unless it directly benefits the middle class (and lower) people.

Every major talent that works for ABC and Disney should refuse to show up for work until Jimmy Kimmel is reinstated.

Marvel movies need to shutdown. Ditto the sitcoms.

Collective boycott.

Corporations love money more than anything,& this will harm them and force them to do the right thing.

I feel like the left in the US polarized itself into willful ignorance on military policy and entirely ceded the foreign policy of it to the right because the military was viewed as de facto a right-wing tool and all use of military force as imperialistic

This is why Defence is and should be a left-wing priority
Whilst European reluctance to go against Israel isn't purely down to American influence, do think the limited options open to European governments in influencing events virtually on Europe's doorstep is another way in which outsourcing defence to America has bound us

Obama and Biden deported more people because they were specifically targeting criminals; Trump's "all of the above" approach has sent a lot of people into hiding, making them harder to find and deport.

No, it's actually Donald Trump and Republicans doing these mass deportations, not Democrats.

The firmest basis for peace between adversaries is mutual fear. The Russians might not have started a war if they feared the west might take advantage of their weakness.
To turn the infamous Obama-era Russian framing back around on them, *the* fundamental problem in European security architectures is that the Russians have too much confidence and security.

Deterrence is about producing in your enemy's mind a fear to act aggressively. To hell with restraint.

Rather than asking, "How do we fight and win a war on an industrial scale?" the question has seemingly become, "How do we make our small force smaller and more deadly?” That might work…for a few weeks…
