The Minneapolis shooting: That settles it. Although the argument goes on, the video taken by the ICE agent who shot Renee Good effectively answered the question of whether the agent acted lawfully. And it appears that he did.

Even though it appears that the core elements of the incident have been established, there is still much about the case we don't know.

UNHINGED: Trump says he’ll make a “deal” for Greenland or force it. That’s the language of an empire, not an ally. Threatening Denmark crosses a line. NATO does not owe the United States obedience. It has every right to defend its members.

Not very comforting considering that Rubio and other administration officials assured Congress they had no regime change designs in Venezuela.

There is no legal justification, whatsoever, to use military force against a NATO ally like Greenland.
If any military member participates in this without congressional authorization, they are following illegal orders.
