Ich fürchte, dass Trump zuerst gegen Kuba vorgeht, bevor er den Krach mit den Europäern riskiert.

Venezuela zeigt: Der amerikanische Präsident ist ein Mann der Tat. Dass er Grönland tatsächlich annektiert, ist immer noch unwahrscheinlich. Ausgeschlossen ist es nicht.
Trump will Grönland – und jetzt? Dänemark und die Nato stecken in einem Dilemma

One of most remarkable US presentations at UN Security Council I've ever seen.

- No reference to UN Charter legal justification
- Claims Panama as precedent (which the UN condemned)
- Energy reserves ⤵️ as justification is illegal
- Sharp contrast with US Ambassador Pickering presentation in 1989

This reckless move by the Trump Administration has nothing to do with science or informed choice – it’s about appeasing a debunked anti-vaccine agenda being pushed by RFK Jr. and his allies.

I strongly condemn this decision that puts infants and children at real risk.

A Mad King has usurped the power of Congress—which represents the American people. That is, he has seized power that belongs to you and me collectively. He has declared war without consultation with or approval from Congress. And with no imminent threat. This is a profound betrayal of the republic.

Der laufende US-Angriff gegen Venezuela stellt eine völkerrechtswidrige Aggression dar, wie Russlands Überfall auf die Ukraine und einst der US-Einmarsch im Irak. Sollte als solche auch benannt werden.
