Decades of screaming "Chamberlain" at everyone who objected to any military actiona and now it is "donald trump can have greenland as a treat"
Govt minister Mike Tapp refuses to say that the US should not attack Denmark and Greenland.
Moments later he declares that sticking to international law is what we stand for as a country.

The "but Venezuelans are celebrating" brigade are not wrong about that -- whomst, when the local tyrant gets got, would not party?
But it's is not substantive, and pretending that the Maduro get is all win amounts to a bet that Trump won't fuck it all up
And that is a bad bet

Wtf does Trump mean when he says the US will be running Venezuela until they transition to a democratic regime.
Who exactly will be in Venezuela running the govt, I want names; and how exactly are they going to establish control?

Truly Trumpian grift. Insider trading on an illegal invasion.
“What appears to be a newly created account appeared to invest $30,000 Friday in Maduro's exit. After Maduro went into custody Saturday morning, that same investor netted $436,759.61.”
Someone made $400K by predicting Maduro's capture. Here's what happened
The winnings come as the rules governing prediction markets are still evolving.
