Aargh. Just accidentally deleted the orginal post while trying to delete and re-do a follow up, which I also deleted.

Here’s a photo from last night. It was very clear.
And if you go outside now and look over at the moon there’s a double-whammy. The small bright object below it to the right is Jupiter.

His chutzpah remains unbeaten
President Zelenskyy on Maduro:
What can I say here? If this can be done to dictators, like that, then the United States of America know what they should do next.

MAGA thought Donald Trump would be an American First president, ending its role as "the world's policeman". Now, he's just launched a new neoconservative project more extreme than anything George W Bush or Dick Cheney ever dreamed of.

I can barely process the Trump press conference I've just listened to. This is the kind of stuff you usually hear from dictators at the very heights of their delusions. Not elected leaders of superpowers.

What's this got to do with the moon Pete?
It's an old and obvious pattern. An unpopular president - failing on the economy and losing his grip on power at home - decides to launch a war for regime change abroad.
The American people don’t want to “run” a foreign country while our leaders fail to improve life in this one.

What happens when you repeatedly hit a policewoman in the spine with a sledgehammer you dull prick
Spray paint a plane and they'll detain you without trial and call you a terrorist.
Kidnap a foreign head of state - and Keir Starmer will make it clear we've played no part in it but will wait for the scheduled press conference in a few hours before potentially condemning it

Trump: "All the way back it dated to the Monroe Doctrines. And the Monroe Doctrine is a big deal. But we've superseded it by a lot. By a real lot. They now call it the Donroe Document. I don't know. It's Monroe Doctrine. We sort of forgot about it."

It's only a war when the other side starts firing back
I’m thinking this morning about all the people I spoke to last year who were absolutely convinced, and tried to convince me, that Trump would be antiwar compared to Biden and Harris.
In the past week alone he has attacked Nigeria and then Venezuela and also threatened to attack Iran (again).
