So far this is the best take I’ve heard concerning the Venezuela action.
Essentially this is a spectacle and a trial run to see what shakes out.

Shitler only attacks the weak. Canada is not weak. The EU is not weak. There is an enormous opportunity for the free world to take advantage of the post American order.
America will be poorer and weaker as we richly deserve.

This gets dismissed but he has made many accurate and radical predictions. Great news for the environment. Worth the listen:

The mass media self owns again. Trump break, feel good. Say stuff, feel strong. Media take bait, make Trump look smart. Trump like.

The end of the American order seems to be going about as well as you'd expect. My stupid, small, and greedy country will end up poorer and weaker as a result.
Which is what we collectively deserve.

I've puzzled over Francis Fukuyama's "end of history" for years. He is the rare intellectual who can make things more confusing by explaining them. I *think* I agree with him, but I'll never know for sure.
Maybe next time explain your core concept in a way that explains it, instead of snarking Marx.

Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen on US imperialist aggression against Greenland,

"Threats, pressure and condescending speech. Even from our closest allies for a lifetime"

"About wanting to take over another country and another people, as if it were something you could buy and own"

Interesting conversation with the former head of BP. Maybe the first fossil ceo to acknowledge Climate Change. Hearing him say "circular economy" really is something.

It keeps on sinking in when I'm interacting with a business and realize they're Canadian, and I wonder if I should apologize, or if the person on the other side thinks of me as an enemy.

And now it's time to give Shitler what he really wants: attention and distraction. Wall to wall coverage. Spend some more time sifting through his meaningless words.
The Self Own continues.

Personal geopolitics. Let's see if Maduro can come up with a sufficient bribe to get a pardon.
New euphemism for "bottomless corruption and naked abuses of power" just dropped

Trump break stuff. No think about Epstein. No think about corruption. Media talk make Trump look smart. Trump like.

A long self own by the media opposition. Filled with facts, signifying nothing. And yet absolutely necessary.

An incredibly powerful film about the war in Ukraine. My great grandfather escaped the Tsar's army and made it to America.

Well, I finished Apple TV’s Foundation and it was worth watching. Wildly original, really high concept. Also, a monstrosity of a series finale.

Watching the 49ers on SNF, it is clear that America is the king of logistics and can do almost anything.
