"Laws are only as good as the willingness of people to enforce them," is the epitaph of this era.
Now would European leaders actually have the stomach for shooting at US forces if they seized Greenland next week?
Eh given how basically nobody has the stomach to even send troops to Ukraine right now I’m going to bet absolutely not.
In which case why shouldn’t Trump go for it, free real estate!

one of my favorite niche journalism experiences is having a big story you're proud of that happens to be published on the day America fires nukes at the moon and you have to be like "Hey, I know there's more important stuff going on, but if you're in need of a distraction I--"

There is no constitutional crisis. Congress just refuses to do its job.
Senator Chris Murphy openly admits how pathetic Congress has been about standing up to presidents from both parties on war.
CNN: Congress has become, frankly, impotent on issues and matters of war.
SEN. MURPHY: That's absolutely true.

Rep. Seth Moulton comes on CNN and starts by saying: "Is anyone going to just stop for a second and be honest? This is insane. What the hell are we doing? We've got a lot of problems in America today, and invading / occupying / running Venezuela does not solve any of them."

Over the past 25 years the US and their client states have marched into Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya + Palestine in the name of "freedom" + naked imperialism. Every single time they have left behind a wasteland where a proud civilisation once stood. Now they're doing it to Venezuela.

You don't have to listen to these professional liars who are barely trying. 9 months ago they were saying they were powerless to return a man they illegally sent to an El Salvador gulag because it would violate that country's national sovereignty
Vance pushes back and says this was not illegal, arguing "Maduro has multiple indictments in the United States for narcoterrorism. You don't get to avoid justice for drug trafficking in the United States because you live in a palace in Caracas."

The absolute last thing I’d ever want to hear as a parent of a perspective college student is how excited your university is about turning all the coursework I’m about to fork over cash for into “AI prompts for dummies”. I just can’t imagine this is the recruiting flex these admins think it is.

You know what tool existed when I was in high school that no one ever taught me how to use? Excel. A thing I use all the time now, mostly self-taught, existed in the late 1990s and no one was upending the curriculum to make sure I knew how to use it.
