if the us seizes greenland the eu will say they're gravely concerned about violations of national sovereignty and will closely monitor the situation. they would say that if trump nuked paris too
the obvious answer is also that if the US seizes greenland, europe will be booting US troops off the continent and talking about they can sever economic ties, which would make us poorer and less safe - all for a landmass which has at best tertiary material and strategic value

DHS publicly fantasizing about massive state violence should be taken seriously, and warrants labels such as fascist and white supremacist. But don't lose sight of the fact that it's beyond their capabilities.
The regime's desire for authoritarian repression is bottomless. Its capacity isn't close.

They want to wipe out almost a third of the country. It’s got nothing to do with illegal immigration.
It’s white nationalism pure and simple. They’re fascists, and there’s no reason to doubt it.

oy, 🫣some of the 2007 federal grand jury testimony indicates that girls who came forward to Palm Beach Police c.2005 were told that *they* could be charged with sex trafficking because of their participation in Epstein & Maxwell's scheme to offer schoolmates money to come to Epstein's house

Avatar 3 review: the Tulkun deciding to abandon strict pacifism at the prospect of genocide would have made more sense if it had all taken place over the course of a single movie... as it is, they already had this debate in Avatar 2. They don't learn anything new here, they just change their minds.

I keep saying this but no one is connecting the dots. The war is to satisfy legal preconditions for mass removal *domestically* of Latinos (i.e., suddenly a lot of people are going to be “Venezuelan” for purposes of removal). This is 100% Stephen Miller…oil claim is to make grandpa go along
There is no national security logic that would impel the US to want to do regime change in Venezuela. It's simply not that important. I'm not even sure wag the dog is the right metaphor for what's happening here. Seems like an insane misallocation of US national security assets and attention.
Trump: "Venezuela is completely surrounded by the largest Armada ever assembled ... It will only get bigger, and the shock to them will be like nothing they have ever seen before — Until such time as they return to the USA all of the Oil, Land, and other Assets that they previously stole from us."

I guess it's historically pretty normal but it's a bit funny to me that America has this centuries-long struggle for freedom, then Nixon becomes the first democratically elected president & immediately forms a conspiracy to undermine democracy. Not because he was unpopular, just on general principle

TIL about a memorial ceremony in Iceland in 2019 to mark the end of a glacier, changing the place name from Okjökull to Ok (jökull = glacier). Uncompromising wording on the bronze plaque:
"This is to acknowledge that we know what is happening and what needs to be done. Only you know if we did it".

Really looks like the United States is about to launch a regime change war against Venezuela with:
-No casus belli
-No authorization from Congress
-No allies or international support
-No plan for a post-Maduro Venezuela
-No preparation for any sort of stabilization or containment of the fallout

Seeing the 2010s-era turn against refugees in developed countries is distressing enough in itself; there are people being hurt by this right now.
But thinking about the enormous number of people I expect to be displaced by climate change, I also see it as the harbinger of something so much worse.
