Having literally worked as a ministerial press secretary over the holiday shutdown before: there is no excuse for this, whoever's on duty has all the emergency/personal phone numbers they need to get the right people online to issue a prompt response to an international incident of this enormity
We (RNZ) put in a bid 3 hours ago and haven't heard back

again, every Democrat has not in fact done this by any stretch of the imagination, and there have been multiple statements - here's a few - www.thecentersquare.com/illinois/art... - that condemn this unequivocally but sure, if you just lie about it you can feel fine saying both sides are the same.

I thought unilateral illegal invasions by foreign powers might justify a Prime Ministerial statement. I thought our independent foreign policy tradition might mean the statement said something :

Sanho is a former military historian and an expert on South American narcopolitics. He knows what he's talking about here.
I’ve been working full time to stop this war since last summer and the one scenario I feared the most is materializing — Trump is making a play for Venezuela’s oil. I’m not saying an insurgency will definitely form, but Trump’s ploy creates the perfect storm for an absolutely disastrous occupation.🧵
Trump: "We're going to have our very large United States oil companies go in, spend billions of dollars, fix the badly broken infrastructure and start making money for the country. And we are ready to stage a second and much larger attack if we need to do so."

The USA needed the Cold War's sense of moral righteousness so Trump's nostalgic boomers and internet-poisoned nihilists have tried to synthesise it & landed on Reagan's deranged foreign policy. But without Reagan's unmerited support, this time it's an overt, not a covert shitshow

Nothing is a distraction from anything else because that would imply 1) that there is an intentionality, 2) that the intention is to mitigate a threat, and 3) that they perceive something as a genuine threat.
They do not see any threats and there are no threats.
All this evil is on its own behalf.

Mark Kelly puts out a statement saying "The President of the United States just overthrew a foreign ruler and explained to the American people that this is about taking control of the oil reserves of a foreign nation." This is probably the strongest statement alongside Gallego's I've read.

This is a great transition cut. Probably the second best in the history of cinema.
The best transition - hands down - however is Monica Bellucci to Mountains in The Brotherhood of the Wolf by Christophe Gans: www.imdb.com/title/tt0237... Just amazingly done.
