Just so we're all clear, this is a war crime and would be punishable by life or death under U.S. law.

Pete Hegseth wants to live in a world in which the US military can drop bombs on scores of children and face no serious media scrutiny for it. His vile claim that he can't wait for David Ellison to run CNN shows he pines for oligarchic control of media. New from me: newrepublic.com/article/2077...

Declaring that no quarter will be given is straightforwardly prohibited under international humanitarian law. When done to threaten an adversary, the declaration itself amounts to a war crime. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/13/u...

"We should have the lowest interest rate because we are the biggest economy" is really not how economics works.

Say what you want about the WWII talk. But "you can say No and we’ll remember" is not a hard threat on Greenland.

AFAIK the US was the only nation to ever trigger article 5 after 9/11. And Europe was there. Total denial by Trump on this.

Trump is really obsessed with windmills

99% of his speeches are like that

Trump's speech is pretty boring so far, honestly.

These are the lucky nations who will get to pay for rooms at Mar-a-Lago, where the peace board will have its meeting ;-)
