And for Americans, who generally have a very high regard for their military, they have to start contemplating that the US Military will follow, essentially, any order, including Illegal orders. Though that was evident already through the boat attacks, which were little more than murder.

Just as a practical matter, how is the United States going to “run Venezuela” after the overnight abduction raid. Do US forces currently control an airport? A television station? A major road?

Trump voters have turned the most powerful country in the world - the longtime leader of the democratic West - into a violent rogue state.

In any other country, if federal agents fired upon journalists when unprovoked — what would we call it?
If federal agents marched down streets demanding papers — what would we say?

American democracy is dying right before our eyes and, all things considered, with hardly a whimper, even, of opposition.
Watching as an outsider on the far fringes of the contracting empire, I find that very odd, almost hallucinatory.

This is likely the largest UN walkout of an Israeli leader in history.
It should serve as a wake-up call for Israelis that Netanyahu is burning Israel's global support to shield himself from his own failures. Israel's fate should not be tied to him nor his extremist allies.
Time to change course.
