US Politicians, Vasal States, and Western Media: Its not a war, its just a limited military operation.

Trump: The lives of American heroes may be lost, and we may have casualties - that often happens in WAR

At least, unlike all the other previous warmongers/US presidents, this one is honest.

The only thing that the US has now is raw military power, not real political influence. Now, to choose the ninth president in ten years. It would be sadder if the memes weren't as good. ๐Ÿ˜… #Peru #Politics #USA #China #PoliticalChaos 3/3

This is despite the fact that the US had backed his presidency. Something interesting to note is that, despite the chaos of Peruvian politics, US support was often an anchor of power. Not this time. The collapse of the US hegemonic role in the entire hemisphere is noticeable. 2/3

In case you missed it, Jose Jeri, the current President of Peru, has been ousted. Accusations of sexual assault, a set of late-night young female visitors to the presidential palace, and very shady deals with Chinese interests seemed to have triggered his fall. 1/3

Noam Chomsky's wife responds to Epstein controversy "Noamโ€™s overly trusting nature, in this specific case, led to severe poor judgment on both our parts... we express our unrestricted solidarity with the victims."

If you want to read the non-apology and how it eventually everything is justified by blaming women's rights activists actions as what triggers Chomky's concerns for Epstein, read below. 4/4

At this stage, if people say this is unfair or "uncharitable" I can honestly say IDGAF. This whole "let's forget what these iconic men did because they had some good insights" doesn't cut it anymore. 3/4

But he was too kind to see pass the lies of a convicted child predator who set him up for dinners with war criminals, famous movie starts accused of sexually predatory acts, and who helped him with some financial issues. The one to blame, really, is cancel culture." 2/4

Valeria Chomsky's statement can be summarized as "Noam was capable of seeing pass the lies of the US government and how history was manipulated to present the US as a force for good. 1/4

Statement on the Normalization of Nazism in the U.S Government January 25, 2026 The Lemkin Institute for Genocide Prevention and Human Security is deeply concerned by a dangerous and accelerating pattern within the United States government in which rhetoric and ...

The Lemkin Institute is calling out the Nazification of the US government. Those who would rather keep raising alarms about threats from other parts of the world, are either part of the fascist agenda or deep in propaganda. 1/2

I honestly hope that all those US citizens appalled by what the US is doing in its territory, get as appalled and angry when the US does/promote that abroad. Because THE US HAS BEEN DOING THAT FOR OVER 100 YEARS.

Furthermore, at a certain point, we have to recognize that the safest thing for the world would be for the USA to be too busy engaging in a civil war and too weakened to directly threaten Latin America, Canada, and Europe, or indirectly promoting chaos or harming the rest of the planet. 2/2

The current fascist regime in the USA is pushing the country towards a civil war. Unless the other side starts reacting, they will end up with more and more casualties from a paramilitary force that has been granted absolute immunity. 1/2

Gaza, Venezuela and Greenland mark end of world legal order set up in 1945 Podcast Episode ยท Redeye ยท 2026-01-19 ยท 17m

Gave an interview to Redeye about the state of the international legal order and how we can make sense of it. Despite the atrocities and problems we can attribute to the system that gave us the UN, there was a set of rules in place that is no longer in place.

Germany, other NATO allies sending troops to Greenland amid Trump threats Trump said Wednesday that anything less than U.S. control of Greenland would be "unacceptable" in a warning to NATO allies.

European states are catching up fast to the fact that the US is operating under a new set of rules that have little to no connection to those of the post-WWII order. Canada and other countries would be wise to act in the same way. The UN-based legal order is gone.

I wrote this piece for @ca.theconversation.com. Legal and political theorists should start recognizing that the post WW2 legal order is no more. Thus, we should theorize and act accordingly.

Trump is bragging about the re-emergence of the Monroe Doctrine under his regime. Yes, the foreign postition that claims that Latin America is under US control and they can decide how to run or if/when to colonize. And of course, he claims the US will run Venezuela for the foreseeable future.

If you didn't get an academic position because you were white, I feel sorry for you for being deranged enough to believe that that is the real reason you didn't get a job. So, in summary, if you think you were denied an academic job for "being white," all I can say to you is LOL.

Anyhow, hopefully Trump will find another way to make easy money instead of pushing for a war that will devastate so many contries in one stroke. 7/7

Maybe they will go back to their usual "blue no matter who," kind of politics. Forgetting that at the end of the day, Democrats and Republicans embrace the same kind of genocidal and war mongering techniques. At least the same for those who suffer them. 6/7

Now there is nothing but "yeah we want oil and we are willing to send our soldiers to die and spend billions of public funds, to make a few billonaires a bit wealthier." 5/7

Bush at least presented fake evidence to the UN, we all knew it was fake except the majority of US citizens, sure, but at least there was that to give to their soldiers before they went to commit attrocities to Irak. 4/7

This, I assume, will be particularly hard to justify when their sitting president has literally said that its because Venezuela has stolen "land and oil" from the US. Which is an insanely weird and nonsensical claim. 3/7

But, if the US does invade Venezuela, I do wonder what kind of justification they would find to apease their minds when creating what could easily be the worst refugee crisis in the continent, and the possible massive loss of lives. 2/7

I know regular US citizens and soldiers are specially good at self-deceptio. They are experts in pretending they are the good guys of history and that every genocide, invasion, and atrocity they commit (constantly), is for a good reason. 1/7

The Indigenous Stories of Philosophy project at the University of Alberta is seeking a PhD-level graduate student interested in Indigenous philosophy. If you are interested in Indigenous philosophical perspectives, comparative methodologies in philosophy, and the radical expansion of the philosophical canon, we would like to hear from you regarding your interest in the Philosophy PhD programme at the University of Alberta.

The Indigenous Stories of Philosophy research program aims to help academic philosophers address the significant gap resulting from the lack of rigorous, sustained engagement with Indigenous philosophy in the field and in our collective human imagination. The project is currently funded by the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council (SSHRC).

The successful applicant will be funded for four years at the same rate as the other admitted candidates to the Philosophy PhD program at the University of Alberta, at $25,000 per year. You will be part of a team developing local, national, and international connections, with access to dedicated training in Indigenous philosophy. This is a chance for an enthusiastic researcher interested in changing the landscape of academic philosophy to pursue higher education.
To be considered for this opportunity, prospective students must apply to the Philosophy PhD program at the University of Alberta (https://www.ualberta.ca/en/graduate-studies/admissions-programs/apply/index.html), and their Statement of Interest must include their interest in working on the Indigenous Stories of Philosophy project under the supervision of Dr. Jorge Sanchez-Perez.
