Russia took Crimea, and NATO did nothing. Russia is at its front door — trying to take Ukraine — it’s debating aid packages. The idea that a US-less NATO will cross the ocean to fight the US (itself a nuclear power) over Greenland while leaving itself further exposed to Russia seems unlikely.

That’s the problem. NATO would be fighting a war on two fronts: against the U.S. and Russia.

Is Russia right for invading Ukraine, because it says it should be part of Russia? Would China be right for invading Taiwan, because it says it should be part of China?
TAPPER: Can you rule out the US is going to take Greenland by force?
MILLER: Greenland should be part of the US. By what right does Denmark assert control over Greenland? The US is the power of NATO
T: So force is on the table?

NATO is done if Trump invades Greenland. NATO is done if Russia attacks any NATO country; the US won’t respond. Otherwise, it’s on hiatus until the next administration, unless it’s Vance. Then, it’s probably the end.

Expect more statements like this coming out of Europe. It’s a tacit admission that they can’t do anything about it, because any strong words or actions would put Europe in the middle of a US-Russia sandwich.
Keir Starmer explicitly backs Trump's attack on Venezuela.
Says he has "long supported" getting rid of Maduro, who is an "illegitimate President" and "we shed no tears about the end of his regime".

Sounds like we don’t need Congress if its only job is to deny it has any job at all. Count on Tom Cotton for a bad faith argument.
Tom Cotton: "Congress isn't notified when the FBI is going to arrest a drug trafficker or cyber criminal here in the US, nor should Congress be notified when the executive branch is executing arrests on indicted persons. And that's really what you can make the analogy to here."

The U.S. has no apparent need for the CIA anymore. Trump gets Russian intelligence directly from Putin now.
Reporter: Is there any evidence?
Trump: I mean, you're saying maybe the attack didn't take place? It's possible, I guess, but President Putin told me this morning it did.
