On the Legality of the Venezuela Invasion
Executive branch precedents can be garnered to support the action—which does not, of course, mean that it is lawful.

Q: Is it possible that the US ends up administering Venezuela for years?

Q: The US has something of a mixed record of ousting dictators without necessarily a plan for what comes after---

Als dit mogelijk is, is het hek van de dam en is er geen rem meer voor Poetin en Xi. Argument dat Maduro een schoft is telt niet, want dat zijn veel dictators. Volgens het int recht mag dit niet. Volgende halte Groenland?

“Mr. Mamdani’s election is also a testament to the vision of democracy that is inherent in city life: the insight that our society — like our city, our New York — is something we must all create, enjoy and govern together.”

Mamdani: I have been told that this is the occasion to reset expectations, that I should use this opportunity to encourage the people of New York to ask for little and expect even less. I will do no such thing. The only expectation I seek to reset is that of small expectations.

Iraniërs demonsteren tegen beroerde economische situatie: ‘Dood aan de dictator!’
Het Iraanse bewind reageert tot nu toe opvallend behoedzaam op de protesten die al dagen aanhouden. Volgens de president zal zijn regering luisteren naar ‘legitieme eisen’ van de betogers.
