Donald Trump is so obviously going to annex Greenland.
And European leaders will respond with unparalleled levels of "monitoring the situation".

Polymarket really has become the ultimate place to engage in insider trading on privileged information.
I'm not sure we're prepared for what happens when any outcome -- including violent ones -- can be wagered on.

Someone made $400K by predicting Maduro's capture. Here's what happened
The winnings come as the rules governing prediction markets are still evolving.

It is baffling how, after Donald Trump openly and continually threatened to militarily invade and annex Canada, Canada's Liberals can tacitly condone Donald Trump's military invasion and takeover of a foreign country.

Once again, there is NO SUCH THING as “Narcoterrorism.”
Literally, that word means “sleepy terrorism,” which would be mostly harmless.
Drug traffickers are capitalists. They are not revolutionaries. They prefer stability.

This is not in any way reassuring. It is not legal reasoning. It would effectively end congressional war powers (already heavily frayed). It is completely circular reasoning because the U.S. personnel would not be in need of protection if not going into Venezuela without authorization.
