i'm mostly posting about estonia and its politics, so beware. but also climate, human rights and other "sensitive" topics.
Seega kogu see jutt murest selle üle, kas Venetsueela valitsus ikka on legitiimne või mitte oli lihtsalt loll hülgemöla.
WH sources say Venezuela's opposition leader committed the "ultimate sin": She accepted the Nobel Peace prize.
“If she had turned it down and said, ‘I can’t accept it because it’s Donald Trump’s,’ she’d be the president of Venezuela today,” one said.

Trump in a single gaggle on Air Force One just threatened:
-- a second strike against Venezuela
-- Cuba
-- Mexico
-- Colombia
-- Iran
-- Greenland (which in turn would be an attack on the EU and Denmark)

Russian forces are mounting Igla MANPADS on Shahed drones to target Ukrainian helicopters that intercept them. The drones carry a camera and radio modem, and the missile is launched remotely by an operator in Russian territory.

Awesome how we have an ongoing inquiry that relentlessly reveals how the state joyfully makes sport of dissidents - not because they’re any kind of threat but apparently just for fun, so the lads can have a laugh - while the government continues to criminalise protest so it can jail more dissidents.

Spycops sent thousands of surveillance reports to MI5, inquiry documents reveal
Security Service was able to compile detailed files on members of legitimate protest groups infiltrated by undercover police officers
Thousands of surveillance reports compiled by undercover police officers who spied on political campaigners were routinely passed to MI5, documents obtained by the spycops inquiry have revealed.
Police sent undercover officers on long-term deployments to infiltrate mainly leftwing protest groups and gather enormous quantities of information about their political and personal activities. Continue reading...

On the face of it, the Venezuelan regime has played Trump for a sucker. The details are murky but it appears that now-acting president Rodriguez convinced Rubio that she would accept a US take-over and that the US was given the location of Maduro (and his wife).

I oppose Maduro's insane regime, yet there is zero legitimacy in the American operation, especially if it plans to keep his regime in power.
If Maduro is not legitimate, then his Vice President isn’t either. Which one is it?
This is pure US imperialism built on made-up excuses

Historic injustice/irony: George W. Bush was accused by Europeans of going to war for oil (foolishly, he was actually in it for a more democratic "New Middle East").
Trump actually SAYS he wants Venezuela's oil, but now Europeans say they need more facts to form an opinion.

Contrast the reaction to the 🇺🇸Venezuela invasion of France's far-right opposition leader vs its sitting centrist president.
It's really incredible. No sitting European leader dares to criticise Trump.
Le Pen is being politically much smarter than Macron.
