We Need To Talk About Rutte
Maybe it's naive of me to think that politicians can and should be honest, but Mark Rutte's escalating rhetoric about the likelihood, even imminence of Russian invasion spurred me into a rant in response:

If these men had any sense of honor, they would already have resigned. The fact that they are all still in their jobs is just as damning as their terrifying and lawless incompetence.
Canada is our country. We are not giving it up to a gangster. The world is watching Canada.
If Donald Trump can threaten us and take away our nation, he can do it to anybody.
Donald thought we would be pushovers.
He has a lesson coming.

If you accept that non-citizens have no right to due process, you are accepting that citizens have no right to due process. All the government has to do is claim that you are not a citizen; without due process you have no chance to prove the contrary.

Hegseth has ordered the Pentagon to STOP offensive cyber operations against Russia. This is insane. Russia is actively targeting the U.S., and the ability to conduct offensive operations (which was authorized by Trump in 2018!*) was at least one deterrent.

We have spent trillions to posture against Russia over the years.
Now we have a chance to send them into the ash heap of history by supporting Ukraine.
Itβs a good deal, unless you want Russia to win, in which case god help you
Trump and Vance act as if the problem is that Ukraine is resisting an ongoing Russian invasion. The problem is the ongoing Russian invasion. If they want to use American power to stop the war, apply it to the aggressor. Abusing the victim is not going to end a war of aggression.
