Farage asked whether international law still matters:

“The concepts of international law, frightfully popular in Islington and Hampstead… [are] no longer, as they were intended originally, fit for purpose”.

The US operation to capture Nicolás Maduro may well be the moment when Western Europe realizes that the US has decisively abandoned the core values that united them for the past century.
The US capture of President Nicolás Maduro – and attacks on Venezuela – have no justification in international law
This may be the moment when Western Europe realizes that the US has abandoned the core values that united them for the past century, writes the head of Chatham House’s International Law Programme.

Being European at the moment, and a European who feels strongly about democracy and self determination, does give a sense that right now it is a situation of "Clowns to the left of me, jokers to the right" #Trump #Putin

The UK invaded neutral Iceland in June 1940, and that was purportedly for "strategic reasons" too. But there was an actual justification back then... Hitler... and it was not beyond the bounds of possibility that Germany could invade first.

Jared Kushner has somehow found a place at Coalition of the Willing press conference with Scholz, Zelensky, Macron, Starmer and Witkoff.

Kushner has no official position in the US government.

Five years ago today, Donald Trump urged his supporters to attack Congress and the Capitol over a proven lie. More than 140 police officers were injured.

Trump then pardoned the attackers.

He betrayed his oath and his country, and we won't ever forget it.
