Trump is using Russia's war on Ukraine as an opportunity.
It seems to me Europe will largely cower and let USA take Greenland because we idiotically got ourselves into relying on USA's role as Team America: World Police. We can't protect Ukraine (and so ourselves) enough on our own.
Putin knows.

Trump’s real base of support — billionaires, Big Oil, Big Tech, crypto, defense contractors, & Wall Street — know that the midterms may limit what they and Trump can get away with moving forward.
2026 could be the last year they can cash in and loot the country.

Woman arrested live on air by Donald Trump's thugs just because she says she doesn't want her tax dollars used to commit war crimes in Venezuela.
This is far worse repression than they have in Venezuela.

During Fiona Hill's testimony to Congress on Oct 14, 2019, she described how Trump and Putin discussed exchanging Ukraine for Venezuela. The quid pro quo was if Trump refuses to help Ukraine fight off a Russian invasion, Putin would not help Venezuela (a Russian ally) resist a US takeover.

Starmer and Farage are going out of their way to make Polanski’s message about fairness and equality, honesty and justice more powerful than ever. They have appointed themselves joint recruiting sergeants for the Greens
Starmer and Farage both drape themselves in flags but once again it's really clear where their loyalty really is.
It's Trump first. They will always be on the side of the super rich and powerful - no matter how heinous the crime.
This is not patriotism. It's subservience.
