Logically, if Trump attacks Greenland, which seems increasingly likely, Denmark should activate Article 5 of the NATO Treaty & demand that all NATO members assist in defending its sovereign territory.
The US would naturally veto such a decision, but that would end NATO.

You cannot cheer America’s illegal attack on Venezuela while condemning Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and China’s threats against Taiwan. Selective application of international law means no rule of law.

babe wake up, they're doing insider trading on war crimes
“What appears to be a newly created account appeared to invest $30,000 Friday in Maduro's exit. After Maduro went into custody Saturday morning, that same investor netted $436,759.61.”
Someone made $400K by predicting Maduro's capture. Here's what happened
The winnings come as the rules governing prediction markets are still evolving.

Trump has just given legitimacy to Putin and Jinping to use military force to arrest, depose, and prosecute leaders of other countries who disagree with them. Will Zelensky, Fredriksen, or Ching-te be the next targets?

Last year, I was wondering if anyone in positions of power in Europe was thinking about the possibility that a time may come when European countries would need to put sanctions on the US, either for domestic civil rights violations or some kind of a war Trump will start.
Now would be the time. Alas

A defining moment for Europe. If it endorses/fails to condemn this flagrant breach of international law, it will have surrendered its core justification for opposing Russia’s invasion of Ukraine
