House Speaker Mike Johnson stated that there are no current discussions regarding military action in Greenland, despite the Trump administration’s historical interest in the territory and previous consideration of purchasing it. Johnson emphasized the importance of diplomatic channels, dismissing the possibility of military intervention, and highlighted Greenland’s geopolitical significance.

Trump, advisers discussing options for acquiring Greenland, and the possibility of military intervention, as expressed by the White House, has ignited a firestorm of condemnation and fear across the globe. The very notion of considering military action against an ally, particularly one that has stood alongside the US in defense of democratic values for decades, is seen as a grotesque betrayal of those same values. This isn’t just a political misstep; it’s perceived as a moral failing, a descent into something truly disturbing. The comparisons to warmongering and historical figures known for their aggression are stark and deeply unsettling.
The outrage extends beyond mere political disagreement.… Continue reading

Trump threatens military operation against Colombia, after Venezuela raid, and it’s frankly, a lot to unpack. It’s like someone gave him a taste of victory with Venezuela, and now he’s got a craving. It’s almost as if he’s playing a real-life game of “Hearts of Iron 4,” constantly looking for ways to expand, conquer, and well, dominate. The concern is that this could escalate into something far bigger and far more dangerous.
The immediate implications here are incredibly serious, especially since Colombia is a democratic ally. Declaring war on Colombia isn’t just about geopolitics; it’s about potentially undermining a stable democracy, which is the exact opposite of what the U.S.… Continue reading
Venezuelan Official Says at Least 40 People Were Killed in U.S. Attack. That’s the headline we’re grappling with, and it’s a stark one. The core of this issue centers around a reported U.S. military strike in Venezuela, and the consequences of that strike are what’s currently under the microscope. The immediate aftermath, as reported by Venezuelan officials, is a devastating one, with a minimum of forty lives lost.
This operation, whatever its true nature, has been shrouded in controversy from the outset. There’s mention of the U.S. President ordering strikes, seizing the Venezuelan president, and his wife, all without a formal declaration of war or Congressional approval.… Continue reading
The Trump administration initiated a military operation in Venezuela, bombing facilities and capturing President Nicolás Maduro and his wife, transporting them to the United States to face charges. President Trump stated the U.S. would temporarily “run” Venezuela and tap into its oil reserves, vowing a “safe and judicious transition” to new leadership. The operation, planned for months, has drawn criticism and questions from lawmakers, who were not consulted before the strikes. Maduro, indicted on drug-related charges, is accused of facilitating cocaine trafficking, and a bipartisan congressional group previously failed to pass a measure to require congressional approval for any military action in Venezuela.
