Reads like Antebellum slave owners fearing a slave revolt or Reconstruction-era former Confederates planning out Jim Crow.

if they're saying this openly about Greenland, fellow Canadians, what do you think that means for us?
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?
M: Nobody is gonna fight the US militarily over future of Greenland

trump *explicitly saying* it's About The Oil does not actually signify that it is about the oil, it signifies that Trump's brain is leaking out of his fucking ears and he genuinely believes it's about the oil because someone juiced it to him that way to get him to support a coup they wanted btw

Michael O’Hanlon on Iraq, 2005:
“Invading another country with the intention of destroying its existing government yet without a serious strategy for providing security thereafter defies logic and falls short of proper professional military standards of competence. It was in fact unconscionable.”

You do not need to be a fan of Maduro to think that this is both morally abhorrent and world-historically fucking stupid.
Remember how appalled we all were in 2022 when Russia completely unprovoked attacked Ukraine? That is what we’re doing tonight with Venezuela. We are the bad guys here. Everyone who supports this is supporting unprovoked murder. Fuck every last one of them

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
