PANEL 1: The IMPORTANT PUNDIT is standing on a soapbox with a megaphone on the street. One or two people are watching. He motions with his thumb behind himself. PUNDIT: Hello! WHAT IF Mattie had all of "her" skin ripped off in one big piece like a clementine? PUNDIT: This is "its" house by the way! PANEL 2: MATTIE, sitting on her couch with a book. The voice from the megaphone comes from outside. VO: What if someone did that. Just if anyone has a big knife, for doing the thing I talked about. I'm just wondering aloud! PANEL 3: MATTIE leans out the window, yelling. MATTIE: Get bent, asshole! PANEL 4: Back on the PUNDIT. everyone is raising a knife of some sort. PUNDIT: Can you believe that language? PERSON IN CROWD: SO uncivil. PERSON IN CROWD: Let's go up there with our blades

there is something uniquely cynical in the duality of the non-American West right now, the way in which it will condemn the United States for turning its imperialist gaze toward Greenland but still liquidate itself absolutely to U.S. foreign policy when the gaze is an 'acceptable target' like Iran

I think about this Tony Benn speech much more than I used to

The United States - with acquiescence and support from Canada and other allies - is seeking to murder millions of Cubans and destroy the Revolution that has carried and embodied so many of our aspirations for a just world. This is effectively genocide and must be stopped.

there are a shockingly large number of Canadians who seem to think that white supremacy is only a problem now that America is victimizing them for not playing along with Trump's idea of an international liberal order, and otherwise ignore their domestic white supremacist policymaking

Declan the Movie's review of Clue (1985) tim curry runs like a king of fighters character https://boxd.it/2bAGrP

It remains to be seen how the Venezuelan people will respond to a more overt CIA presence in the country post-Maduro. For years, Maduro cast the CIA as a convenient boogey man, repeatedly accusing the agency – without evidence – of attempting to topple his regime as he clung to power despite US opposition. Now, the CIA has helped supplant Maduro and is poised to help actively manage the Trump administration’s dealings with Venezuela’s new leadership.

Absolutely incredible sequence from CNN.

"Maduro was a paranoid lunatic always lying about the CIA trying to overthrow him. Anyways, now that the CIA has overthrown him..."

The irony of everyone fawning over how Mark Carney is 'standing up' for Canada is that he is simultaneously eroding the few institutions that actually distinguish the Canadian state from the US, and those which theoretically could be used to shield Canadians from the disaster area to the south.

happy big one nicky :)

I'm not saying I know how to maneuver around Trump and the current US government, I'm just not convinced that military showmanship (with accompanying austerity) is going to change the game. Plus, y'know, I don't really trust the government to not join the next Afghanistan/Libya war of aggression

I guess I'm skeptical that making military plans based on trying to psychoanalyze Donald Trump is a viable strategy. I don't disagree that he's a dangerous idiot acting erratically, but how much can you really expect shiny new planes to dull that aggression?

is there a practical level of military spending that establishes a deterrent that much more significant than the basic economic/political disincentives for a US invasion?

The weak response from Can, EU and UN to Trump's flagrant crimes in Venezuela is striking.

It exposes that much of the world has been cowed.

Most notable exception: the Latin American left.

That is why the Trump Admin has gone to enormous lengths to defeat the left across the continent. 1/3
