Trump and his current administration has been keeping all the dumb white college "educated" retards in the media and at home chasing their own fucking tails for almost a year now, not realizing that they were all being played.

Behind the scenes, the Dominoes were all being lined up while nobody was watching any of it.

A majority of Americans don't even realize how much the People of Venezuela are cheering what has just happened this weekend, and that's because our media is still desperately trying to hide facts like these in its final dying breaths.

Gas prices are about to drop. And not just a couple of cents.

And this is one of the ONLY ways of bringing prices down meaningfully and with any longevity that doesn't involve a very painful period of deflation. It will have a ripple effect on prices of everything up and down the board, and most immediately on produce.

And hopefully a lot of politicians on both sides of aisle, both current and former are roused out of bed just like Maduro and his wife were, and carted away to the prison where they belong as well. (I now have my suspicions that this will start ramping up in a few months, and some big arrests, possibly also related to the Epstein files as I've been predicting all along, are going to be held onto until the last few weeks before the mid-terms).

Trump just showed everyone that he and his team are unafraid of the Deep State.

This wasn't war on Venezuela. It was Venezuela's liberation.

And my, my, my are there going to be a lot of secrets to tell that will finally be told by the time this is all over.

(You'd better keep a good eye on Maduro, Trump. Dead hoes tell no tales.)

I've been saying for a a while now all I've ever wanted was for people to live the life here that I had growing up, and not spend anymore time living in this depressing, chaotic husk of what America once was. For music and movies to be happy and optimistic again. For people to have real hope and a reason to want to listen to happy and optimistic music and movies and not dismiss it outright because that just isn't the world they were growing up in.

A couple of generations missed out on that. But maybe we can give it to the young Gen Alpha and the ones who come after them (Please don't call them Generation Beta... If you're going to use that name, give it to the Millennials who deserve it).

If things go right here, Donald Trump could go down as one of the Greatest American Presidents in history.

And all the bullshit that the Left has put him through will just be more to bolster the tale.

Here's hoping we get more music like this over the next ten years... It's been a long time.

The Real Donroe Doctrine

Seeking cash and an ego boost, not regime change

By Paul Krugman | Jan 05, 2026

https://paulkrugman.substack.com/p/the-real-donroe-doctrine

For Americans of a certain age, the snatch and grab abduction of Nicolás Maduro, Venezuela’s president, brings back memories of the 2003 invasion of Iraq, in some ways with good reason.

Almost everyone now sees Iraq as a cautionary tale about the lies of the powerful: We were taken to war on false pretenses. Almost everyone also thinks of Iraq as a prime example of the power of delusional thinking on the part of the powerful themselves. Slogans of the time — “We will be welcomed as liberators”; “Mission Accomplished” — are now routinely used ironically, to denote foolish projects doomed to catastrophic failure. And Donald Trump’s Venezuela adventure is another tale of lies and delusion.

But in other ways the Trump/Venezuela story is very different from the Bush/Iraq story.

Two days after the abduction, it’s clear that Trump wasn’t seeking regime change, at least not in any fundamental way. He’s more like a mob boss trying to expand his territory, believing that if he knocks off a rival boss he can bully the guy’s former capos into giving him a cut of their take.

If that sounds harsh, bear in mind that before Trump stepped in, Maduro and his fellow Chavistas — the movement founded by Hugo Chavez — faced strong opposition from domestic pro-democracy forces led by María Corina Machado. Edmundo González, a Machado ally, clearly won Venezuela’s 2024 election, only to have Maduro steal it. So, if Trump wanted regime change he would be supporting Machado and her movement.

But in his triumphal Saturday press conference, Trump sneeringly dismissed Machado, declaring that “it’d be very tough for her to be the leader, she doesn’t have the support. She doesn’t have the respect.”

Instead, he appeared eager to support Maduro’s second-in-command, Delcy Rodriguez, implying that she was ready to cooperate with his designs. Indeed, during the press conference and afterward Trump repeatedly declared that he was already “running” Venezuela.

But it took only a few hours for Rodriguez to make him look like a fool: Later that day she and other leading members of the Maduro government denounced U.S. actions and declared on TV that Maduro is still president of Venezuela.

Oops. By Sunday Trump was threatening to punish Rodriguez for her defiance.

How did Trump make such a big miscalculation? Trump has surrounded himself with sycophants like Pete Hegseth, who has repeatedly described him as “the greatest president of my lifetime.” He lives in a self-aggrandizing fantasy world — a world in which he has a 64 percent approval rating and is a contender for the Nobel Peace Prize.

The Washington Post reports that Trump turned on Machado because she committed the “ultimate sin” of accepting her genuine Nobel prize.

Anyway, the core of Trump’s fantasy involves imagining that he really is the character he played on The Apprentice, a master of the Art of the Deal.

Given Trump’s belief that he can always out-deal, out-bully and out-cheat everyone else, it’s easy to see how he interpreted some conciliatory conversations with Rodriguez as a signal that she would be his obedient puppet.

Trump’s self-image as the ultimate dealmaker explains why he was so ready to believe, falsely, that he controlled Venezuela. It also explains his insistence that by, as he imagined, seizing Venezuela, he had gained a valuable prize in the form of its oil. “We’re going to be taking out a tremendous amount of wealth out of the ground.” Many Trump critics share his view that there’s a lot of money to be made from Venezuelan oil and condemn his intervention as an attempt to steal that money.

But you know who doesn’t think there’s a lot of money to be made in Venezuela? Oil companies. They see a dilapidated infrastructure that would cost billions to repair. They don’t see a stable political environment above ground. And while Venezuela has large oil reserves, much of its oil is “extra heavy, making it polluting and expensive to process.”

So, why did Trump have Maduro abducted? There were surely multiple motivations. Fantasies of dominance and control and dreams of oil-soaked riches played their part. So did ego. The snatch gave Trump an opportunity to strut, and assuage his Obama envy: Trump’s minions set up a “war room” at Mar-a-Lago that looks as if it was designed to let him emulate the famous photo of Obama and his officials tracking the killing of Osama bin Laden.

Obama’s team did not, however, have X/Twitter on the screen behind them.

Trump also surely hoped that abducting Maduro would help him politically. The abduction pushed the Epstein files out of the headlines for a few days. And Trump is definitely trying to wag the dog, seeking a boost in popularity as the nation rallies around the flag. However, he’s almost certain to be disappointed. Before the abduction, Americans overwhelmingly opposed military action in Venezuela. Early polling since the abduction remains highly unfavorable:

Note that three times as many independents strongly oppose the U.S. running Venezuela as strongly support it. And these numbers will get worse as the public realizes how little was achieved.

In any case, it’s important to understand that the confrontation with Venezuela has nothing to do with the national interest. It’s all about Trump’s self-aggrandizing delusions. And it will accomplish nothing except to make America look even less trustworthy and weaker than it did before.

Trump’s “Don Roe Doctrine” Turns Canada Into His Worst Nightmare | Jimmy Kimmel

Jan 4, 2026

Hello to all the loyal viewers and die-hard fans of Jimmy Kimmel — the people who can watch five minutes of Trump talking about foreign policy and instantly tell the difference between a real doctrine and a drunk guy doodling on a placemat at Mar-a-Lago. I hope you’re somewhere comfortable right now, maybe half-sliding off the couch with your phone in one hand and a snack you definitely didn’t intend to eat this late in the other, because tonight we’re going to talk about something that sounds like a bad joke, feels like a comic-book supervillain plan, and is actually being treated like a real threat by an entire country: Donald Trump’s so-called “Don Roe Doctrine” and how it just turned the Canadian people into some of the most determined Trump-resisters on the planet.

If you somehow missed it, here’s the quick horror recap. After Trump’s unlawful invasion of Venezuela — you know, that little “kinetic action” he announced like he was plugging a hotel opening — he walked into a press conference and bragged that he’d basically upgraded the Monroe Doctrine. Remember that old 19th-century policy that said the Western Hemisphere was kind of our neighborhood and European empires should back off? Trump stands there, sweaty and proud, and declares that under his “new national security strategy,” American dominance in the Western Hemisphere “will never be questioned again,” and that they now call it the “Don Roe Doctrine.” He even stumbles over the name like he’s not sure if he’s saying “Monroe,” “Don Roe,” or “Don’t Know,” which is honestly the most accurate version.

If things go right here, Donald Trump could go down as one of the Greatest American Presidents in history.

Trump declared Sunday evening that the US was running Venezuela through its pressure on Rodríguez, now the acting president. “Don’t ask me who’s in charge, because I’ll give you an answer, and it’ll be very controversial,” he told reporters. “It means we’re in charge. We’re in charge.”

The spectacle of an American president claiming to be “in charge” of a sovereign nation around 1,000 miles from the US mainland — even if it is not strictly true — shows just how fundamentally Trump has hardened the country’s posture to the rest of the world and reveals his ambition to wield expansive power. And Trump apparently feels emboldened by the Venezuela raid, telling reporters Sunday that Colombia is “very sick” and that “Mexico has to get their act together.”

The president’s moves in Venezuela foretell a new global system.

By Anne Applebaum | January 5, 2026, 9:37 AM ET

https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/01/trumps-american-dominance-ma
y-leave-us-with-nothing/685503/

Back in 2019, Fiona Hill, a National Security Council official in the first Trump administration, testified to a House committee that Russians pushing the creation of spheres of influence had been offering to somehow “swap” Venezuela, their closest ally in Latin America, for Ukraine. Since then, the notion that international relations should promote great-power dominance, not universal values or networks of allies, has spread from Moscow to Washington. The administration’s new National Security Strategy outlines a plan to dominate the Americas, enigmatically describing U.S. policy in the Western Hemisphere as “Enlist and Expand,” and downplaying threats from China and Russia. Trump has also issued threats to Denmark, Panama, and Canada, all allies whose sovereignty we now challenge.

In some ways, the military raid that took the Venezuelan dictator Nicolás Maduro into custody does resemble past American actions, especially the ouster of the Panamanian leader Manuel Noriega in 1989–90. But the use of this new language to explain and justify the Venezuelan raid makes this story very different. At his press conference on Saturday, Trump did not use the word democracy. He did not refer to international law. Instead, he presented a garbled version of the 1823 Monroe Doctrine, a policy originally designed to keep foreign imperial powers out of the Americas, calling it something that sounded like the “Donroe Document”: “Under our new National Security Strategy,” he said, reading from prepared remarks, “American dominance in the Western Hemisphere will never be questioned again.”

Toward this end, he said the United States would “run” Venezuela, although he didn’t say who would actually be in charge. Viceroy Marco Rubio? Governor-General Pete Hegseth? Asked about María Corina Machado, the leader of the Venezuelan opposition, Trump was dismissive. “She’s a very nice woman, but she doesn’t have the respect within the country,” he said.

Machado, who won the Nobel Peace Prize last year, leads a movement whose presidential candidate, Edmundo González Urrutia, received two-thirds of the vote in the 2024 election. Although the state-controlled media backed Maduro, and although Maduro’s police and paramilitaries harassed, arrested, and murdered their supporters, Machado and González not only won; they collected documentation from polling stations proving that they had won. Maduro never produced any such proof. He declared victory anyway.

For the moment, Trump isn’t interested in identifying the legitimate leader of Venezuela. The administration is instead hinting that the U.S. might work with Maduro’s vice president, Delcy Rodríguez, who would presumably keep Maduro’s regime intact—not regime change, in other words, just dictator change. But Trump isn’t trying very hard to provide legitimacy for his own actions either. Before kidnapping Maduro, he did not consult with Congress, U.S. allies, or Venezuela’s neighbors, many of whom might have wanted to contribute to a solution. Although his administration has described this action as a criminal arrest, and has justified it with an indictment for drug smuggling, this isn’t part of any consistent policy. Trump just pardoned the former president of Honduras, who was legitimately indicted on drug charges six years ago.

None of this is logical, but it isn’t meant to be: Like the Party in 1984, the would-be dominators of the Western Hemisphere seem to feel no need for logic. If might makes right, if the U.S. gets to do what it wants using any tools it wants in its own sphere, then there is no need for transparency, democracy, or legitimacy. The concerns of ordinary people who live in smaller nations don’t need to be taken into account, because they will not be granted any agency. Their interests are not the concern of the imperial companies that want their mineral resources, or the imperial leaders who need the propaganda of conquest to keep power at home.

Trump’s War

The invasion of Venezuela is not law enforcement; it is imperialism, pure and simple.

David Cole | January 3, 2026

https://www.nybooks.com/online/2026/01/03/trumps-war-venezuela/

“It was a brilliant operation, actually.” So claimed Donald Trump early this morning in a phone call with The New York Times about the US military’s overnight invasion and bombing of Venezuela, culminating in the abduction of Venezuelan president Nicolás Maduro and his wife, who have been brought to New York to face an indictment for drug smuggling.

It was an illegal operation, actually. Illegal on so many fronts that it can be challenging to keep them straight. First, and most importantly, it violates the bedrock rule of international law, which prohibits nations from attacking other sovereign states except when authorized by the UN itself or when acting in self-defense. Trump has invoked self-defense for all his aggressive actions against Venezuela, from summarily executing at least 115 people in unprovoked assaults from the air on boats alleged to be carrying drugs in international waters, to destroying a loading dock in the country itself and, now, bombing Caracas and abducting Maduro. The basis for that claim, Trump insists, is that Maduro has facilitated the smuggling of drugs into the United States, and that those drugs in turn kill thousands of Americans each year. But self-defense applies only in response to an actual or imminent armed attack, and whatever else drug smuggling might be, it is not even conceivably an armed attack. (According to US records, moreover, Venezuela is not even a source of fentanyl, the lethal drug that has been the agent of many of those overdose deaths and that Trump recently labeled a “weapon of mass destruction.” It mostly comes from Mexico.) Quite simply, Venezuela has not attacked the United States. The only nation with a self-defense justification here is Venezuela.

The attack also violated the US Constitution, which gives Congress, not the president, the power to declare war and authorize the use of military force. The only situation in which presidents can constitutionally conduct unilateral military action is, again, in self-defense against an ongoing or imminent armed attack. The Venezuelan operation also violated the War Powers Resolution, which requires the president to notify Congress before introducing troops into any situation of ongoing or imminent hostilities.

The fact that Maduro was indicted doesn’t remotely authorize the military action. First, this was not a mere law enforcement operation; it was regime change. In a press conference earlier today, Trump admitted as much: “We don’t want to be involved with having somebody else get in and we have the same situation that we had for the last long period of years,” he said. “So we are going to run the country until such time as we can do a safe, proper, and judicious transition. And it has to be judicious, because that’s what we’re all about.” He singled out one aspect of that “transition” in particular:

As everyone knows, the oil business in Venezuela has been a bust…. We’re going to have our very large United States oil companies—the biggest anywhere in the world—go in, spend billions of dollars, fix the badly broken infrastructure, the oil infrastructure, and start making money for the country. And we are ready to stage a second and much larger attack if we need to do so.

That is not law enforcement; it is imperialism, pure and simple.

Second, trying Maduro contravenes the principle of international law that heads of state are absolutely immune from trial in the courts of a foreign country. Trump should know; after all, he successfully argued in the US Supreme Court that he himself had immunity from criminal prosecution for “official acts” in his own country, even after he left office. Yet if what he is doing to Maduro is lawful, it would be just as lawful for another nation to capture Trump and put him on trial in their own courts.

*

Trump’s escalating military attacks against Venezuela are not entirely unprecedented. He is, after all, far from the first president to attack buildings or even to kill people abroad on the basis of assertions of self-defense. In 1998 Bill Clinton ordered the bombing of a pharmaceutical factory in Sudan, allegedly to prevent Osama bin Laden from gaining access to nerve gas after al-Qaeda attacked US embassies in Kenya and Tanzania. (Clinton’s claim that the factory had anything to do with nerve gas was never proved.) After September 11 George W. Bush authorized military strikes against suspected al-Qaeda militants in multiple foreign countries, often killing innocent civilians in the process. Barack Obama ordered the assassination of bin Laden in Pakistan, as well as numerous drone strikes against other suspected terrorists elsewhere, including Anwar al-Awlaki, a US citizen killed in Yemen. These actions raised many difficult legal questions under international law and the law of war, some of which I have written about in these pages.1 In many cases the attacks were illegal, and to some extent they paved the way for Trump’s assault on Venezuela.

But in other respects Trump’s “brilliant operation” is unprecedented in modern US history. These earlier strikes were in response to actual or threatened attacks on the US. By contrast, Trump’s unilateral actions against Venezuela were entirely unprovoked. The implication of the administration’s reasoning is that countries can use military force anytime they are unhappy with how another country regulates or fails to regulate conduct within its borders that could have injurious effects elsewhere. But this is ludicrous. By the administration’s logic, Canada could start shooting Americans suspected of carrying drugs over the US–Canada border, or bomb buildings in the US that it claimed were being used to manufacture the drugs. Mexico could do the same with respect to American manufacturers of guns that are routinely used in gang violence, which kills many thousands of Mexicans each year. In June the US Supreme Court ruled that a federal law barred Mexico from suing Smith & Wesson and other American gunmakers for the deaths and injuries their weapons facilitated. But if Trump’s reasoning were sound, Mexico need not have bothered with the nicety of filing a lawsuit. It could simply bomb Smith & Wesson out of existence as a matter of “self-defense.”

Drug smuggling is a time-honored profession, if not the oldest then certainly in the running for second place. Reasonable people can differ about whether criminal prohibitions are an effective response to the problem. Like Prohibition, criminalizing drugs is a failed experiment. It increases prices, incentivizes a black market, frustrates health regulation and treatment, and foments violence by the gangs that arise to meet the demand. But the answer to the failure of Prohibition was not to summarily execute bootleggers and moonshiners. So, too, the answer to the failed war on drugs is not to start an actual war with Venezuela.

The closest precedent for Trump’s latest actions might be the capture and trial of Manuel Noriega in Panama in 1989. There, too, we invaded another country in order to put its ostensible leader on trial. But that action was widely condemned as illegal—not a precedent to be proud of, much less repeated. And the situation in Panama was materially different in several respects. Panama had declared a “state of war” with the United States and killed a US marine, and we had an enormous Air Force base and thousands of American citizens in the country who we claimed were at risk.

Venezuela, by contrast, neither engaged in nor conducted any hostilities against us—even after we killed over a hundred civilians in illegal summary executions from the air, blockaded their oil tankers, and destroyed a loading dock in their country. In retrospect, it is clear that Trump was baiting Maduro, trying to draw him into war. He never took the bait. But that didn’t stop Trump. We now “run the country”—and seem poised to control its oil. Brilliant, actually.

The Once Secret Memo That Trump Thinks Justifies His Venezuela Invasion

The legal theories the administration has floated to defend its actions draw on a historical source the president once disavowed.

By Mark Joseph Stern | Jan 5, 2026 at 4:06 PM

https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2026/01/secret-memo-trump-venezuel
a-invasion-illegal.html

President Donald Trump’s military operation to capture Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro is flatly illegal under international law and almost certainly illegal under federal law—an unauthorized use of force against a foreign nation that pushes executive power past its breaking point. Yet there is no real chance that the courts will curb it, even as the mission evolves into a possible occupation of Venezuela and an expansion of hostilities to its neighbors. Nor is there any signal that Congress will impose restraints on what appears to be the dawn of a new conflict overseas, surrendering its constitutional war powers to Trump without objection. And even if Congress does try to assert its authority to oversee (or end) military action in South America, it will face an uphill battle in a judiciary that persistently favors the commander in chief.

This inversion of our constitutional order sets a perilous precedent that even many celebrating Maduro’s fall may come to regret. It marks the death knell of the post–World War II settlement that, however imperfect, wrestled the anarchy of war into a framework designed to condition armed aggression on legal justification. The executive branch’s consolidation of power now reverberates far beyond the United States’ shores as a saber-rattling president abandons any pretense that the law can constrain his resort to military force. Indeed, the legal theories the administration has floated to defend its actions draw on a historical source Trump once disavowed: the arch-interventionist claim that the U.S. has an inalienable right to police the world.

It is difficult to tally all the ways in which the Maduro operation was illegal, but start with a point that few dispute: This act violated international law. Trump’s invasion of Venezuela to capture its president cannot be squared with Article 2(4) of the U.N. Charter, which bars member nations from deploying “the threat or use of force against the territorial integrity or political independence of any state.” This principle—the most important rule of international law today—should bind the United States, which ratified the charter in 1945. And it clearly prohibits the American government from invading another country to make an arrest.

Yet Mike Waltz, Trump’s ambassador to the United Nations, did not even pretend that the administration complied with Article 2(4) in his address to the U.N. Security Council on Monday. Instead, Waltz rejected the premise that this rule should apply to Venezuela at all, because Maduro was an “illegitimate narco-terrorist” and “fugitive from justice.” Of course, if a country can disregard the U.N. Charter whenever it concludes that another nation’s leaders have given up their claim to “territorial integrity or political independence,” then the charter means nothing. Arguably worse was Waltz’s insistence that Venezuela’s vast “energy reserves” also justified the action, a motive Trump has laid bare from the start. It should go without saying that the charter does not, under any circumstances, permit one nation to invade another to secure control over its natural resources.

So what is the government’s legal defense of its military incursion into Venezuela? The administration purports to be following the Panama precedent of 1989—when President George H.W. Bush ordered the military invasion of Panama to arrest its dictator, Manuel Noriega, ostensibly so he could stand trial in the U.S. But this episode was not approved by Congress (which found out just hours before) or the U.N. (which condemned it) or a federal court (which never passed on its legality). Instead, the Department of Justice’s Office of Legal Counsel justified the aggression in a secret memo signed by William Barr, who would go on to serve as attorney general for the first Bush and Trump.

In that memo, Barr claimed that the president has inherent constitutional authority to conduct extraterritorial arrests for violations of U.S. law. Even if those arrests require complex military incursions into foreign nations, he wrote, they remain within the president’s inherent powers and do not require congressional approval. Barr further asserted that these arrests did not have to comply with Article 2(4) of the U.N. Charter. That provision, he wrote, does not actually bind the executive branch because it is not “self-executing,” freeing the commander in chief to disregard it.

This conclusion was obviously wrong: Even if the charter cannot be enforced by federal courts, it remains binding on the executive branch and is a law that the president has a constitutional duty to faithfully execute. The memo was so absurd, in fact, that the DOJ did everything in its power to conceal it, as New York University law professor Ryan Goodman has documented. After Congress demanded to see Barr’s memo, the department refused, even failing to comply with a subpoena ordering its disclosure. When Barr eventually testified about its contents under oath, he omitted its assertion that the president can “override” the U.N. Charter (a legal justification that made up a mere four paragraphs). The Clinton administration finally released the memo in 1993, and in the years since, legal experts have derided it as “deeply counterintuitive and indefensible,” “fundamentally flawed,” “preposterous,” and utterly “bereft of citation to supporting authority.”

But embrace, for a moment, the nihilism of Barr’s memo and assume that international law imposes no legitimate constraints on the president’s use of force. Even then, Trump’s actions in Venezuela would still be illegal—or, most generously, an egregious distortion of the constitutional war powers. It is Congress, after all, that has the authority to declare war and must authorize use of military force. The president is the commander in chief, the civilian leader of the armed forces, but he holds no independent power to commence hostilities. Needless to say, Congress has neither declared war on Venezuela nor authorized military force within its borders.

From where, then, did Trump derive authority to invade Venezuela? As Harvard Law professor Jack Goldsmith has explained, the administration evidently contrived it from its desire to arrest Maduro on federal charges. The logic goes like this: The DOJ sought to take the dictator into custody on charges of drug trafficking. It could do so only by storming Venezuela. That operation would require protection from the military. And as a matter of “unit self-defense,” these accompanying troops had a right to bomb, shoot, and otherwise overwhelm any threats to the mission through lethal force. This rationale is quintessential bootstrapping: The alleged goal of trying Maduro in the U.S. gives Trump permission to launch a hostile incursion into a sovereign nation, whose ramifications may well give rise to a broader regional conflict.

Georgetown Law professor and Slate contributor Steve Vladeck has laid out the danger of this shameless maneuver: It subverts the constitutional order by allowing the president to set off offensive military operations under the pretext of carrying out an arrest warrant on foreign soil. If troops face any resistance, they can escalate with further use of force, sliding quickly toward war—all without authorization from the legislative branch. So the Trump administration’s apparent rationale is less of a loophole than a complete end run around Congress’ war powers with no limiting principle in sight.

Despite all this, no one seriously thinks that any federal court will slow or stop Trump’s attacks in Venezuela and its neighbors. Americans seem to have consigned ourselves to the reality that legal constraints on the commander in chief’s operational decisions are entirely theoretical, with no meaningful mechanism for enforcement. Congress has handed over to the president more and more of its authority over foreign affairs. The Supreme Court has persistently forbidden federal judges from second-guessing the executive branch’s use of military force. (That’s why the Trump administration’s legal defense comes not from a court decision but from a self-serving opinion produced by the Department of Justice.) And the rest of the world has no means to secure accountability for the United States, which does not even recognize the jurisdiction of the International Criminal Court.

So Trump, already a “unitary executive” at home, becomes a kind of ersatz emperor abroad, bound by no law of nations, no treaty or charter, no checks but those he elects to honor. The post–World War II consensus, as enshrined in the U.N. Charter, rejected this kind of unbridled aggression as an invitation to perpetual conflict. Trump, in turn, rejects that consensus. It may be tempting to ignore the consequences of this radical new doctrine when it is wielded against an illegitimate dictator like Maduro. But Trump is already threatening action against Colombia, Cuba, Iran, and even Mexico, a liberal democracy with a legitimately elected president. The end point, it seems, is whatever this president says it is. That theory of American dominance does not merely push legal limits. It subordinates law to the logic of conquest.

The same brain that ruins a Trumptard's life also decides to loyally support Trump. Not a surprise that your life is in the toilet. Trump is floating in the porcelain bowl with his Trumptards, where you all live happily, until the flush.

Then why were you talking about suicide? By the way, you aren't unique among Trumptards I know. They talk and many do kill themselves over trivial setbacks. Most are living in an unhealthy fashion that will make an early death a certainty, even if the police don't classify their end as suicide. And the rest of the Trumptards are anxious about the meaning and purpose of their wasted lives, which is why they attach themselves to a strong leader or a god who gives them a purpose.

Trump’s Greenland Threats Push NATO Toward an Unprecedented Crisis

By Olga Lautman | Jan 05, 2026

If the United States were to use military power against allied territory, it would bring the post–WW II security order to an end, collapse NATO from within, and hand Russia the biggest geopolitical victory it has never been able to secure on the battlefield, while placing the alliance on a path where American forces could, for the first time, find themselves in direct confrontation with NATO troops.

France reiterating its support for the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Denmark and Greenland and stating plainly that borders cannot be changed by force, underscoring that Trump’s threats are now being treated in Europe as a challenge to basic principles of international law rather than a bilateral dispute.
