“What’s right” for Trump is letting his billion dollar big oil donors come in and plunder their oil for pennies on the dollar.

Some professional geopolitical analysts are taking discussion by Trump and his allies about gaining control of Greenland very seriously, which I think is necessary:

As I've long argued, the Greenland risk is underpriced
A possible US intervention in Greenland is the biggest source of risk to the transatlantic alliance and intra-NATO and intra-EU cohesion, arguably far greater than those presented by Russia's invasion of Ukraine.

Rubio is just spouting a bunch of thuggish gibberish.
THIS WAS AN ACT OF WAR AND A VIOLATION OF INTERNATIONAL LAW.
But put that aside for a second…
What’s wild is that Marco Rubio isn’t even pretending anymore. He’s not hiding that the invasion of Venezuela is about oil.
This is going to end up a dumpster fire…
