I'm confused how this isn't the biggest story in the world right now. Trump has launched a regime change war in Venezuela. He and @marcorubio are lying and pretending its about fentanyl, but it's really about oil. We've seen this movie before and it ends badly.
Breaking News: The C.I.A. is said to have conducted a drone strike on a port in Venezuela last week, the first known land strike after months of boat attacks.

This is a properly shocking document, subtly Islamophobic & white nationalist in intent, and Europeans need to wake up and realise that as long as MAGA runs America, they are on their own. The British in particular need to realise the old alliance with the US is now over.
This US is a direct threat to European democracy and peace. And no longer an ally. Trump tells us, again, in the new National Security Strategy out today how MAGA will aim to destroy the EU and NATO: Get the AfD & its allies into power. These would proceed to destroy the

This man is a psychopath and would be in jail in any vaguely sane democracy. Instead he is a proudly fascist Minister in Israel’s government. And one of the most racist human beings there has ever been - and I grew up in apartheid South Africa. This is what the West is
