Volgens woedende rechtse anonieme kerels op Twitter moet ik de situatie in Iran juist heel erg vinden omdat ik vanwege mijn politieke voorkeur in Nederland voor radicale islam ben en tegen vrijheid.

It is worth asking how far a dispute over Greenland that could collapse the alliance between America and Europe flared up again because of an uncoordinated shitpost from Katie Miller whose only strategic purpose was to bolster her husband's position in Trump's royal court

"I doubt NATO would be there for us if we really needed them".
A reminder that the one and only time NATO invoked its self-defense clause was after 9/11, and our NATO partners have suffered over 3,400 deaths (not casualties, deaths) in Afghanistan.

This is really Europe's moment of truth. Will the richest and biggest group of democracies in the world be able to claim independence?
Let's be real: Trump is not going to war with Russia over Estonia, Finland or Romania. If Putin attacks, we're on our own

When I was 23, I saw a bunch of really cute velvet furniture on the side of the road, totally nice. Took it in and a year later a friend’s new gf came to my house and it turns out I’d stolen her entire living room while she was moving.

Republicans were very clear during the election that this is what they believed, & that this was what they would act upon when in office. Editors & tastemakers discounted it all, because it was ridiculous. Everything was fine. No one would blow everything up for the sake of delusion. Now here we are
According to the White House, this is the "true" timeline of January 6th.

These freaks want territorial expansion and they know Trump will do everything he can to deliver.
This isn’t just a tweet from some random asshole either. This is Stephen Miller’s wife. Miller was in the room with Trump during the kidnapping of Maduro.

Strong statement from (probable next Dutch PM) Jetten:
“Maduro was a cruel dictator.… Many Venezuelans will be relieved …
At the same time: this is not the way. The bombing of Caracas, the capture of Maduro … directly contradicts international law. A precedent with major risks… the EU must step up”

He clearly thinks he runs the country by posting on Truth Social.
Trump just announces the US will be running Venezuela now, until the can do a "safe, proper, and judicious" transfer of power. Announcing an occupation before you've occupied a country is a new one.

Marco Rubio is reportedly saying Maduro will stand trial in US courts.
Which means it’s now the US administration’s position that US courts can hold foreign presidents, but not the US president, accountable for crimes.

So fmr Honduran President Hernandez voluntarily surrendered, and was duly extradited, tried and convicted for drug trafficking, and Trump pardoned him 6w ago.
And this morning, Trump illegally attacks Venezuela and abducts its president and his wife purportedly to try them for drug trafficking.

Europeans who quite understandably want a stronger response from European leaders should seriously consider strengthening Europe as a political and military block.
Put our leaders in a position where they don’t have to worry about what a Trump backlash might mean for Ukraine going forward.

No one has ever been able to adequately explain what Putin is meant to have thought NATO expansion would threaten him with, apart from limiting his expansionist ambitions.
"He was worried they'd invade Russia."
No he wasn't.
He just wasn't.
That's not a thing anyone thought might happen.

this is the simple answer to people who keep saying NATO expansion matters. Sure, it matters because it presented an obstacle to Russian imperial ambitions. Putin didn't invade because he hated NATO expansion, he hated NATO expansion because he wanted to invade
