Pundits insinuating that what Trump just did in Venezuela is part of some larger coherent foreign policy strategy as if he and his toadies are poring over tattered copies of Politics Among Nations drives me nuts. So i wrote this: www.thenation.com/article/poli...
Trump’s Mogul-First Model of Diplomacy
The pundits straining to seek coherence in the new interventionist “Donroe doctrine” would do well to look back to Trump’s roots in New York real estate

Look, Dems can't do much in the minority. Surely, they can do more than soporific skeets. Like, just say "Trump wants to invade Greenland because he's an idiot. And he'll be prosecuted for it when we have power."
The White House is laser focused on threatening a military takeover of Greenland.
Where’s the same focus on lowering costs?

(1 of 2) Public discourse on what's almost certainly going to happen shortly in Greenland needs to sharpen.
There's almost no chance of gunplay; Trump will simply announce that Greenland is now an American protectorate, perhaps move more soldiers in, and dare the Danes to act.

No US oil company should risk investing in Venezuela. Companies that take part in Trump's lawless takeover of Venezuela's resources should keep in mind that any American tax dollars they take to invest in a foreign country will be recovered by the next administration.

Cholera did not exist in Europe before the 1800s.
The Roman cavalry had no stirrups.
There are examples of pre-Colombian native American writing systems.
A "Celtic Invasion" of Britain/Ireland circa 500 BC is a myth.

Here’s a fun top five: things that are consensus among historians but are essentially unknown by the public. Richard I, a bad king of England. Roman Empire, fell in 1453. Paul, more important than Jesus. Witch burning, a modern phenomenon not a medieval one. Britain last invaded in 1688. Yours?
As someone who wrote a dissertation on that damnable Frenchman; one can only hope.
