The US Treasury just designated the President of Colombia, his wife and son (???) and the Colombian Min of Interior.
Things are really spinning out of control. We're getting SDN kingpin designations against the first family of US ally over public spats.

Netanyahu says the same 6 or 7 things in every speech. Anti-Islam stuff, Iran, Western civ, some contrived US cultural reference, etc. If you've heard 2 or 3 of his speeches, you've heard them all.

Trump is bailing out Milei because its a hardline ideological project whose discrediting would be damaging for austerity advocates globally. Its bad policy. You're pouring money into a leaky bucket.

I know this is supposed to be a joke. But this is literally the German claim on why they should be seen as an authoritative voice on genocide.

World politics is dictated by the whims of one man to a historic degree. That one man just said he brokered peace between "Aber-bajan and Albania".

I never understand why Saudi does this. Are there a lot of Andrew Santino fans in Riyadh? Is this for locals or laid-off Noem engineers? Maybe Chris Tucker can finally explain the Epstein stuff. Its too obviously a propaganda move to have benefits.

Yglesias has been on an epic crashout in the past 24 hours, desperately trying to convince everyone (and himself) that since he doesnt care about genocide, no one else does either. Its all just a sick powerplay - apparently.

The idea that deporting people increases native-born employment has become very impactful, but it's an economic fallacy. If a third of the American public disappeared tomorrow, would there be jobs for everyone? No, the economy would fall off a cliff.

UK has been running intelligence/targetting flights for Israel over Gaza using their Cyprus base for 20 months. Apparently, they recently contracted this out to a private "contractor" to avoid criticism. Sadly, these idiots forgot to turn off their transponders on July 28th.

Who and what are these people? Do they care what actual Iranians inside Iran think when they see this monstrosity?
Being America's pawn has a little bit of dignity to it. The US is the global superpower after all. Being Israel's pawn is just degrading.

My negative opinion of Putin or support for Ukrainian people hasnt changed one bit.
But all these people are monsters. They say vague bullshit about human rights and then suborn genocide and racialized, colonial violence. They're not the good guys against Putin.
