Russian Spies Found Posing as Fishermen and Tourists in Norway Norway, like many other European countries, has ramped up security in its regions bordering Russia in the years following Moscow’s 2022 full-scale invasion of Ukraine.

"The question of whether America will continue to hold free and fair elections is an increasingly serious one moving into the November 2026 midterms. Nobody should count on the Supreme Court to help the cause."

We are now accepting apologies from all of the "You just hate Trump because he isn't a neocon starting foreign regime-change wars" folks

Who’s going to tell Sanchez, Mertz, Tusk, Meloni & co that Trump doesn’t give a shit about their (conflicting) statements on Venezuela? No, it won’t be the below to alter the course of history.

A fair end to Russia’s war against Ukraine will come only when Russia’s elites conclude that the invasion was a mistake and that rebuilding the Russian empire is impossible.

Venezuela raid enriches MAGA billionaire The ouster of Maduro is a financial windfall for a prominent Trump-supporting billionaire, investor Paul Singer. Singer funds push for regime change in Venezuela.

Appealing to dialogue and respect of international law is pointless. Trump couldn’t care less.

Yulia Lemeshchenko was defiant and did not deny the accusations, saying she had decided to fight against Russian military aggression

WH sources say Venezuela's opposition leader committed the "ultimate sin": She accepted the Nobel Peace prize. “If she had turned it down and said, ‘I can’t accept it because it’s Donald Trump’s,’ she’d be the president of Venezuela today,” one said. www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

"Look, your stupid healthcare supplements were just spent invading a sovereign country without provocation and kidnapping its president to distract you from that Epstein problem. You're welcome!"

America is a rogue and malevolent state and global bad actor

Bailey, a Labour MP and member of the Commons defence committee who has been vocal about Russia’s hybrid war in western Europe, said the links between Patriotic Alternative and Russia were the latest example of the Kremlin’s attempts to use political subversion against Britain and other countries.

Leaving the regime in place and forcing them to become a puppet government, or else. What could go wrong?

“There is an attack on our democracy going on, led by the tech oligarchs on social media, and we’re not really defending ourselves.”

🧵 L'attacco illegale al Venezuela e il "pacifista" Trump che sta muovendo guerra al mondo intero | Michele Bertelli www.valigiablu.it/trump-venezu...

Russia signed a treaty to defend Venezuela just two months ago but its crickets this morning from the Kremlin. Utter humiliation and evidence of just how weak it is globally.

absolutely bizarre to see a violent, rogue american regime, which is threatening military attacks on a bunch of major trading partners and close allies, and openly fantasizing about hitler-style wars of territorial conquest, covered in the tone of horse-race political commentary

I’m at Times Square, where an emergency “No War On Venezuela” protest just took to the street. Easily a thousand people here in real-feel 20°F weather. “No more coups, no more wars, Venezuela’s not yours!” “No boots on the ground no bombs in the air, U.S. out of everywhere!”

I rest my case

Trump's real agenda is not peace. It’s extortion, conquest, and theft.

This might be the only Democratic response I’ve seen that is appropriate

The US Attorney General confirms Maduro is being charged with "conspiracy to possess machine guns" - something Republicans usually call a constitutional right.

"By proceeding without any semblance of international legitimacy, valid legal authority or domestic endorsement, Mr. #Trump risks providing justification for authoritarians in China, Russia and elsewhere who want to dominate their own neighbors." Die New York Times traut sich noch...

Non è difficile eh. "Maduro è un dittatore brutale e oppressivo del Venezuela. Trump non ha alcuna base legale legittima per un’azione militare contro il Venezuela, né secondo il diritto statunitense né secondo il diritto internazionale".

Maduro is a brutal and oppressive dictator of Venezuela. Trump has no legitimate legal basis for military action against Venezuela under United States or international law. Both of those facts are simultaneously true.

If you read the regime's "strategy" from early December, which few did, the underlying argument is that Europe needs to be run by Russia, and America needs to act like Russia. And here they are living out the latter.

Can someone pls capture the world's actual largest threat and fly him off to stand trial at the international Criminal Court or wherever?

Maduro’s capture was a “negotiated exit”, sources in the Venezuelan opposition tell Sky News. So, as is typical with Trump, a different picture already begins to emerge.

Trump doesn’t appear to have any congressional approval for a declaration of war, and doesn’t seem to have notified the Gang of Eight about any of this. Before we talk international law, there seems to be some *extreme* disregard for US law here, too.

Kidnapping the leader of a foreign state without any declaration of war and announcing it via social media is full-on rogue state stuff. From the world’s number one superpower.

Oh my goodness, this Wall Street Journal piece about Trump's ailing health that includes an interview with him (gift link). There are a number of ridiculous details in it and I'll put a few of them in this thread. (1/6)

❤️

Wall Street Journal: "One of the striking contradictions of President Trump’s tariffs is the way his chorus claims their rousing success even as he carves out hundreds of exceptions. Rarely has a President worked so hard to cover the damage from his policies without admitting it."

The new national security strategy’s ‘great optimism’ for the rise of ‘patriotic European parties’ builds on the themes of JD Vance’s Munich Security Conference speech.

The ruling narrows Donald Trump’s remaining legal paths to mobilise troops and send them to cities. Should he press on, he would probably have to rely on untested claims of presidential power
