Hitler called it Lebensraum ("living space"). Putin calls it Russkiy Mir ("the Russian World"). Trump calls it "our hemisphere." Whether in its Nazi, rashist or American fascist form, such naked imperialism must must be opposed by freedom-loving people everywhere.

The only other explanation that makes sense is a White House intent on dismantling NATO. An attack on a NATO ally would shatter Article 5 if countries respond with thoughts and prayers instead of action. That opens the door to the Baltics for Putin.

I still haven’t seen a plausible reason for the U.S. to annex Greenland other than Trump wanting to personally add a “51st state.” The U.S. already can build any military installations it wants there, and U.S. companies can freely invest in resource extraction.

Last night, the Russian army “defeated” yet another hospital – in Kyiv, with a functioning inpatient unit. Patients had to be evacuated. There are casualties. Sadly, one person has been killed. My condolences to the family and loved ones. Everyone who needs assistance is

Two people close to the White House told The Washington Post that Trump lost interest in backing Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado, despite her recent efforts to flatter him, because she accepted the Nobel Peace Prize, an award Trump has openly wanted. One of

THIS IS HOW REVOLUTIONS ACTUALLY START Unarmed civilians alone do not topple regimes. They open the door. Real revolutions begin when people inside the system realize they have no future defending an oppressive regime and choose to flip. That is why this matters. When

Trump removed Maduro from power but is refusing to recognize Venezuela's democratically elected president as the new president. Trump only wants to swap out an anti-American dictator with a pro-Trump dictator in Venezuela so he can take their oil.

We have to be careful in projecting the US actions in Venezuela to China. Excellent analysis 👇🏼
Ever since the U.S. initiated operation to capture Nicolás Maduro in Venezuela, I've seen many comments suggesting that Donald Trump’s actions would legitimize China's invasion of Taiwan. I respectfully disagree such analyses. 1/

Kv-oikeuden rapautuminen, Monroe/Donroe, etupiiripolitiikka tarkoittaa sitä, että USA ei välitä Euroopasta kuin transaktionaalisesti. Trumpin jälkeiseen muutokseen USA:ssa ei voi luottaa. Mikä taas tarkoittaa sitä, että tarvitsemme Eurooppaan liittovaltion, jolla on armeija.

There is this narrative that Russia is a great power and that Putin is some kind of master strategist. But let’s summarize what has actually happened since the invasion of Ukraine: 1. Russia lost Syria. 2. Russia lost Venezuela, and its oil reserves there are on track to be

If 1917 was a blunder, it was the best thing that ever happened to Finland. We’ll take the bill for our freedom any day over a 'friendship' that comes with a side of occupation. We’re not afraid; we’re just moving on from a toxic neighbor’s facist regime.
Some guy called Stubb says Finland’s relations with Russia have changed forever. Agreed. I hope so too. I hope Russia never repeats the Bolsheviks’ 1917 blunder. Finland’s got to pay for its vile Russophobia. In fact, it’s already paying — Stubb talks, and citizens foot the bill.
