Terwijl de oude politiek schaapachtig toekijkt, zegt Laurens Dassen waar het op staat:
“Het Amerika van Trump is hard aan het afglijden en een rivaal op Europese waarden.”
De vergelijking met de jaren ‘30 in Duitsland is volkomen terecht.

A year ago, I went to Copenhagen to write about the political crisis sparked by Trump over Greenland. Danes told me that the US can already do whatever it wants on the island.
Their conclusion: Trump just wants the U.S. to look larger on a map

Trump Triggers a Crisis in Denmark—And Europe

Amid the tumult caused by one invasion with several more threatened, Trump is hoping Americans will forget about the Epstein files, which should be called the Trump Files since he is going to such great lengths to keep them hidden.
Don't let Trump distract us. Demand that the files be released!

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.

Pope Leo is quietly mounting a long-term, moral confrontation with American authoritarianism — and history suggests he knows exactly what he’s doing.
Here’s how he can defeat Trump’s dictatorship of relativism once and for all.

Pope Leo vs. the Empire of Lies: The Long Game to Defeat Trumpism
He’s already rebuked immigration crackdowns and blasted the “logic of exclusion” fueling rising nationalism. Now, as the youngest pope in 35 years, Leo is poised to help defeat Trumpism for good.

Wat een gekleurde berichtgeving over de Amerikaanse aanval op Venezuela in het @nosjournaal.bsky.social . De redactie lijkt volledig op de hand te zijn van de Venezolaanse diaspora en Trumps illegale ingrijpen. Schandalig.

Om toch even mijn oude beroep van onderzoeker van de olie-industrie op te pakken. 🧵
Er wordt weer eens met weinig kennis van zaken over de oliereserves van Venezuela bericht. Niet alle aardolie is hetzelfde, olie uit Venezuela is extreem CO2 intensief en grotendeels te duur om te winnen.

Among the many absurdities in this EU joint statement is the claim that the Europeans are in "close contact" with the Americans on this.
The Europeans have been completely cut out of the loop here, treated as an irrelevance because they are behaving like one.

This is all 🇪🇺 could muster as a response to the 🇺🇸invasion of🇻🇪. Two days later. Not one word of criticism of the violation of international law.
You can see why Pedro Sanchez, the only EU leader willing to criticise 🇺🇸, has instead had to join Latin American leaders in a different joint statement.

Excerpt from the #Atlantic today. Greenland is the next target. If Trump attacks this autonomous part of Denmark, Europe finds itself at war with the US. Meanwhile here in the Netherlands, an extremist right-wing imbecile of Kurdish stock is blocking the formation of a stable, democratic cabinet.

Trump is weak at home, and he can be stopped – so long as the domestic political logic of foreign intervention is recognized and turned against him. This act of war is about regime change in the United States. It only succeeds if Americans allow it to do so.
