It is bizarre how people expect fascism to be trapped in a 1940s aesthetic. We’ve been trained to recognise it - and importantly, as a perversion of European civilisation. Nazis and swastikas are “they”, never “us”. So when *we* are faced with their modern-day heirs, we refuse to acknowledge it…

"Just before last week’s ceasefire announcement, Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner doubled his investments in an Israeli firm that funds settlement expansion."
Trump lifted sanctions against Israeli settlers in the West Bank. Within hours, Netanyahu launched a new invasion.

2) Unilateral US attacks on cartels in Mexico would be illegal.

REP. CARLOS GIMENEZ: I'm really glad the cartels have been designated terrorists by Trump. Now let's go after them and wipe them off the face of the earth.
VARNEY: What do you mean by that? Attack them inside Mexico -- is that what you're saying?

This is not a new legal position from Mexico, but it takes on a somewhat different significance given proposals to conduct missile strikes or SOF raids in Mexico against drug cartels.
Mexico has sent a position paper to the UNSC on the right to self-defense under the UN Charter.
It insists that one State may not use force against a non-State actor on the territory of another State without the latter's consent, and rejects the "unwilling or unable" doctrine.

Trump is arguing for what's known in monarchies as a lese majeste law, wherein it is illegal to insult the personage of the king
Trump's lawyers -- and likely soon-to-be top DOJ officials -- have a *very* broad view of what presidential immunity entails.
