Trump is eyeing up a strike on Colombia. On Airforce One he told reporters: “Colombia…is run by a sick man who loves to produce cocaine and sell it to the US. He won't continue doing this for much longer. He has cocaine factories... he won't do this for much longer.”

Things have that peculiar quality right now of seeming both entirely obvious and madder than a rat in a biscuit tin
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.

Q: Who’s in charge of Venezuela right now? Have you spoken to the newly sworn in President?
Trump: We’re dealing with the people who just got sworn in. Don’t ask me who is in charge because I’ll give you an answer and it will be very controversial.
Q: What does that mean?

Donald Trump has made it clear that he is nothing more than a klepto-gangster.

In Iran, security forces are storming hospitals to seize wounded protesters, including those injured earlier in Ilam. Another video shows a violent crackdown near the hospital. The level of brutality continues to escalate as the regime tries to suppress the unrest.

It’s hard to believe a president would time an illegal military attack to distract the public’s attention, but today is the statutory deadline for DOJ to release its report on the Epstein file production. Maybe it is just a coincidence.

"Removing a leader without managing the political, military, and economic body beneath him produces power vacuums, violence, and endless entanglement. Iraq. Libya. Afghanistan. Different countries, same movie, same third act."
Trump didn’t bomb #Venezuela because of #fentanyl, he bombed it because the rules no longer restrain him. #uspolitics #warcrimes #kakistocracy #authoritarianism

From a false fentanyl narrative to an open promise of occupation, Trump just demolished the rules-based order, and dragged us somewhere dark.

I think this might be the first time I've seen Canadian opposition leaders openly support an American president's violation of American law, let alone international law.
Again, they shouldn't be allowed anywhere near power.
Never trust them on law or accountability.
