NEW: A mass propaganda event is about to engulf the US news cycle and what, if anything, survives it will be a lesson for our times.
But it’s what the rest of the world does now that’s key. When someone tells you who they are, believe them.

Both Senators from Minnesota voted to confirm Rubio.

Conspiracy theory of my own. This makes me wonder now if he isn’t planning to finish on Jan 6 2026 what he started in 2021. He’s safely at MAL. He’s invited back to DC a number of his closest coup friends. He’s untouchable per the Roberts court. Congress literally doesn’t care.

We need to stop pretending that Congress, the DOJ, or any part of the federal government cares. They abdicated their responsibility every single time, and in many cases gave him more power.

US troops in Europe (incl Greenland) have been seen as essential to security for so long, but having military bases of a country unrestrained by international law - or even its own constitution - in your territory will start to be seen as a potential national security threat
After this, the EU should absolutely proceed on the assumption that Trump meant what he said about Greenland. Nothing is off the table anymore.

Marco Rubio is reportedly saying Maduro will stand trial in US courts.
Which means it’s now the US administration’s position that US courts can hold foreign presidents, but not the US president, accountable for crimes.

If the US plans to put Maduro on trial, the US says its courts can try other country's presidents for crimes, but not their own.
