Why should Trump stop at Venezuela? They’re champing at the bit for territorial expansion. Katie Miller, Stephen Miller‘s wife, posted a map of Greenland marked as a US territory with the words „SOON“.

Remarkable interpretation of US law.
Marco Rubio is reportedly saying Maduro will stand trial in US courts.
Which means it’s now the US administration’s position that US courts can hold foreign presidents, but not the US president, accountable for crimes.

Carl Schmitt: Die Rückkehr des Großraums
Der Nazi-Jurist Carl Schmitt entwarf 1939 eine multipolare Weltordnung. Mit Blick auf Russland und China sind seine Gedanken mittlerweile wieder erschreckend aktuell.

Mark Spiegel points out that Musk said this only five months ago.
A decade ago, this would have triggered a punishing SEC securities fraud action.
Today, we have no functioning SEC, and no rule of law for billionaires who suck up to Trump.

Anspruch und Wirklichkeit... Und trotzdem wird die Wood immer noch in vielen zu vielen Medien gehypt.
In December 2021 Cathie Wood said ARKK would deliver 40% compounding returns for the next 5 years. In April 2022 she raised it to 50%.
We are closing year 3 of that projection today.
So, how'd she do?
$SPX +53%
$COMP +54%
$ARKK -18%

Don’t mistake progress in stopping a U.S. sellout of Ukraine with progress in ending the war. The conflict will end only when Putin is convinced that he can’t achieve his military objectives. Until that point is reached, peace negotiations aren’t going anywhere. wapo.st/3N5e24y

Ukraine peace won’t come until the Russian dictator realizes he can’t win militarily.
