Well worth reading because at least someone is saying the obvious our loud

“Middle powers must act together because if you are not at the table, you are on the menu.”

“The old order is not coming back. We should not mourn it. Nostalgia is not a strategy.“

He doesn’t need all sites

Actually he doesn’t even need the military

He has congress and the courts and enough force to manage a second Jan 6

It is a cloak to deploy troops

If he deploys troops he will do what he likes

It is the force he requires not any legislation- he doesn’t care what laws say

It is very quaint that people think laws will protect them against force

He is already acting outside laws domestically and internationally

White House claims ‘acquisition of Greenland’ is purpose of working group – Europe live Denmark’s foreign secretary has denied the assertion and since reiterated that discussion over territory is a red line. After meeting with the US vice-president JD Vance and state secretary Marco Rubio on Wednesday, the Danish and Greenlandic foreign ministers announced a new diplomatic channel to discuss their “fundamental” disagreements over Greenland: namely, a working group with the US.

He really does telegraph his intentions in advance…

At one point today, there were 283 Minnesota attorneys doing a training on how to file emergency habeas petitions to keep our neighbors from being shipped out of state and held indefinitely.

That would be the second largest law firm in the state. And that training was just put together this week.

Pete’s thesis is at the “debate over a comma versus a semicolon” stage 😊

It is a good but somewhat frustrating place 😂😂😂

The world is paralysed by strategic blindness

A failure to accept that the fundamentals have changed

The global order is upended and this is a period of historical discontinuity

Which suggests the violence by ICE and CBP will just keep escalating to fulfil that aim and because they can, with nothing to stop them

Pritzker: The Insurrection Act is designed for circumstances where your rights can’t be protected by local authorities

This is exactly the opposite.

Your civil rights are being infringed upon by CBP and ICE, and then they want to call in troops claiming that they’re protecting CBP and ICE.

In a social media post, the Defense Department confirmed that it seized another oil tanker, the Veronica, in the Caribbean.

US president’s family in talks to build Trump Tower in Surfers Paradise The Trump Organisation is believed to be keen to construct a tower featuring the US president’s famous real estate insignia on the Glitter Strip.

⚠️ How do we stop this? No sane Australian wants a Trump tower (or anything Trump) in our country. Nauseating thought.

"The Trump family is in advanced discussions with developers to build Australia’s first Trump Tower on the Gold Coast." #auspol
