I'm very interested in how all the proper MAGA forces in Europe are going to respond to this.
I think we’re at the Rubicon.
Who knows, of course, but it feels like what happens over the next few weeks will define the rest of our lives.

There are quite a lot of them but they get castigated as doomers and told to shut up all the time
I do not think anybody is prepared for how quickly and how thoroughly things we've taken for granted our whole lives could change
Look, you may think the Mail is probably exaggerating but the news side of Telegraph is legit: if Euros are considering this, there's smoke

Intermittent flickering lights in our flat. Spread to fixtures too. Tonight we had an outage and then it came back on. Went out came back on. Electrician from operator found no fault a few weeks ago. Emergency electrician also found no issues with our supply.

Genuinely beginning to think they're trying to incite a violent response
A woman recording an ICE agent tells him "Shame on you."
The agent responds, "Have you all not learned from the past couple of days?"
"Learned what?" she asks
Then he knocks her phone out of her hand

Hard to parse this as anything other than a genuine threat to European security
Trump: "We are going to do something on Greenland whether they like it or not because if we don't it, Russia or China will take over Greenland. If we don't do it the easy way we're gonna do it the hard way."

Thank you for telling us you neither serve nor protect. Thank you for saying the quiet part out loud. That was state murder in broad daylight, captured from multiple angles by multiple witnesses, and the people of Minneapolis have eyes.
You support murder.

The level of symbolic detail in TBoNS is insane. Reading the Claw mistaken for a burning brandy and recalled the blue flame of brandy soaked Christmas pudding is said to represent the passion of the Christ. This is just a little throwaway line you'd have no reason to pay attention to!

Key point is that Trump foreign policy is not about sovereign equality. It is about dominance and extraction for the ruling elite clique. To really understand what is going on we need to view not through Westphalian lens but of neo-royalist order. www.cambridge.org/core/journal...
