If you ever feel useless, just remember that it took the US the whole week of verbally projecting American strength to replace the military bases in Greenland with the military bases in Greenland.
Only Sanchez is trying to stop the European race to the bottom on the issue of migration.
Every time I see someone like Abbott choose self-inflicted decline, I think of this quote from Pedro Sanchez:
"Spain needs to choose between being an open and prosperous country or a closed-off, poor country. It’s as simple as that."

PM Mark Carney needs to stamp down on Smith and her separatist sentiments. By ignoring the issue it will only cause even more division in Alberta and Canada and ultimately aid the separatists. Smith’s thugs or freedom convoy are fully armed and Smith is right behind them leading them

One of the things I'd love to see, but it will never happen.
EU-China-Canada will pursue strategic relations while still parting ways over the question of defending democracy in Ukraine. So, Trump may have given Europe the spur that it has needed to become a geopolitical force in its own right—allowing it to play a balancing role. (FP)

If confirmed, the 1000/38 ratio would speak volumes about the losses of each side in this war.

The Russians and the Ukrainians exchanged the bodies of their fallen soldiers. The Russians (Medinsky) say that they exchanged 38 Russian bodies for 1,000 Ukrainian ones. The Ukrainians (KShPPV) confirm 1,000 Ukrainian bodies but don't specify how many Russian ones were exchanged.

The next Ukrainian elections will be a true carnival of every fraud imaginable. Whoever organises them, whoever participates in them. Romania or Moldova is nothing compared with what awaits Ukraine in this matter.

So disappointed at tariffs. The expectations were missiles, invasion, airborne landing, or the abduction of a political leader. As always, it all ended with tariffs.
To the people of Denmark: don’t worry a bit about the tariffs Trump tried to blackmail you guys with. We don’t care a bit what they do. They don’t get to use tariffs on us to pressure you. If he wants his own people to pay up more for things made in Europe he can have at it. We got you bros!

Migration is a key development factor.
Abolish borders.
Increasingly my book is about how we are focusing on discrete agencies & discrete violences - ICE, CBP, DHS - but what we need to be doing is rethinking the entirety of the system that ever imagined human beings as threats.

Folks can deny it all they want but Labour’s strategy of appealing to the 6% who would vote Reform instead of the 20% (and rising) who would vote Green has been - objectively - disaster for the party. The decision to appease fascists has simply failed.

There were more or less 4,000 Wagnerites marching on Moscow on June 24, 2023. They had marched half of Russia on a north-south axis in a single day.
Zelensky should go and bring 1000 soldiers and 5000 drones with him.

If it wasn't the war with the whole West, it would mean that for 4 years Russia couldn't have conquered four neighbouring provinces of a much smaller and weaker nation (Russia is 4x larger in terms of population and 28x larger in terms of territory than Ukraine.)
Russia views the Ukrainian conflict as a broad clash between Russia and the West, said Sergei Lavrov. Ukraine is a "pawn", a tool for building a foothold on Russia's borders in order to create direct threats to our security. The Zelensky regime is largely a repeat of history,

“American dominance in the Western Hemisphere will never be questioned again” - Trump
I’m questioning. Trumps citing of the Monroe Doctrine or Donroe Doctrine as he calls it. Pure imperialism. But as the historical reference shows, the US has always been imperilist. Time to face up.

What is the Monroe Doctrine, which Trump has cited over Venezuela?
US attack on Venezuela evokes Monroe Doctrine, laid out in 1823 to cement Washington's sphere of influence in Americas.
