The killings in Minneapolis didn’t come out of nowhere.
Funding, legal cover, weakened oversight, and dehumanising rhetoric ramping up over a year. This started on 20 Jan 2025 with Trump's executive orders on immigration.

"A realisation that was, if anything, more challenging to Canada and other US allies than it was to those nations who always knew they were dispensable, and who were never closely enmeshed with the US"
Even the Davos elites have woken up, but they need more than just speeches to survive the end of the old order | Nesrine Malik
Mark Carney and other custodians of the order are right to contemplate its death, but are they really willing to unpick the the entire system?, says Guardian columnist Nesrine Malik

Biodiversity collapse threatens UK security, intelligence chiefs warn
Biodiversity collapse threatens UK security, intelligence chiefs warn
Ecosystem destruction will increase food shortages, disorder and mass migration, with effects already being felt
The global attack on nature is threatening the UK’s national security, government intelligence chiefs have warned, as the increasingly likely collapse of vitally important natural systems would bring mass migration, food shortages and price rises, and global disorder.
Food supplies are particularly at risk, as “without significant increases”, the UK would be unable to compete with other nations for scarce resources, a report to ministers warns. Continue reading...

Biodiversity collapse threatens UK security, intelligence chiefs warn
Global ecosystem degradation poses a severe and growing threat to UK security and prosperity. Impacts already include crop failures, natural disasters and disease. Without major intervention, ecosystem collapse from 2030 could drive food insecurity, conflict, migration and intense global competition

Under international law, there is only one universal security structure, the United Nations, and one body empowered to authorize the use of force: the United Nations Security Council.
The US operation to capture Nicolás Maduro may well be the moment when Western Europe realizes that the US has decisively abandoned the core values that united them for the past century.
The US capture of President Nicolás Maduro – and attacks on Venezuela – have no justification in international law
This may be the moment when Western Europe realizes that the US has abandoned the core values that united them for the past century, writes the head of Chatham House’s International Law Programme.

In 2016, Putin, a dictator clinging to power, established his presidential guard by combining OMON, SOBR, FSKN, FMS, and FSB troops. Estimates of the guard’s size have been around 400,000 personnel. He may have anticipated that possessing such forces could eventually prove useful.
Reminder: ICE has a budget bigger than most militaries around the world.
It has increased its spending on weapons by 700% since Trump took office.
Trump is building his own personal military to terrorize American cities, trample on civil rights, and intimidate his opponents.
