Every country who does not want to be a target for the US needs to urgently develop a nuclear arsenal with intercontinental delivery systems. The world is currently at the mercy of an 80 year old narcissistic toddler for the second time in less than 100 years, the only thing that will stop such a man is strength.
Much as I'd love for that to happen, assuming there are free and fair elections at all: I have a feeling the first words out of the Democratic leadership after winning will be "it's time for healing and to move forward" (or words to that effect)
Every protestor should be openly armed. At their core, ICE agents are just slightly older school bullies - cowards in other words. If they knew that the protestors would respond in kind there's no way they would risk shooting anyone.
If Trump's regime is to be removed from office then it's got to happen in the next few months at the latest. It has only been two weeks into 2026 so far and already he has kidnapped the president of another nation, his gestapo have shot multiple innocent people and now he is about to start WW3 over Greenland.
It depends of course on who he puts in to replace Powell. If they are going to blindly drop interest rates like what Trump wants inflation is likely to spike again, which will benefit corporations due to lower borrowing costs while raising prices of consumer goods, but will fuck over ordinary people in a massive way.
When it collapses due to him installing a mouth breathing MAGA loyalist maybe then Americans will be pissed off enough that it'd be better to put their tools down for a prolonged general strike rather than wait for a rigged election.
The US taxpayers were never going to benefit from this blatant theft of Venezuelan oil at all. The profits were to be deposited directly into Trump & his families accounts after using taxpayer funds to secure the country. That's also the reason why he wants Greenland so he can enrich himself with stolen minerals, with the US military serving as his personal army.
Putin almost certainly gave Trump permission to kidnap Maduro.
