"Jeg er nødt til at sige det meget direkte til USA. Det giver absolut ingen mening at tale om, at det skulle være nødvendigt for USA at overtage Grønland.

The pardon for Hernandez makes an obvious & absolute mockery of each & every attempt to rationalise, or even justify, Trump's treatment of Maduro. I'm not sure this single, simple point can be stressed enough. Once again, he proves his critics right & reduces his supporters to epic moral corruption.

If you’ve been following Trump’s foreign policy, she just says the quiet part out loud here. Unabashedly.
But there’s one insight: It’s the 250th anniversary of America this year.
Trump is thinking legacy. He wants to be remembered as the POTUS who expanded US territory. By hook or by crook.

If you want a sense of how MAGAworld sees the motivations behind Venezuela and what might be next, my full interview with Angie Wong might help. Must confess, parts left me pretty stunned.

Was Maduro ‘captured’ or ‘kidnapped’?

Trump complaining about the corruption and criminality of other countries is a bit rich, isn’t it?
It’s a textbook case of pointing out the speck of sawdust in someone else’s eye while ignoring the giant sequoia in your own eye.
