"As this now becomes the seventh country Trump has bombed just since being back in office for one year, cui bono, who benefits? It seems like a disturbingly easy qustion to answer. Why has the US government been pushed in this direction? Follow the money. Why is Donald Trump willing to let that happen? Well, with this president, sadly, we keep learning over and over that the easiest answer is almost always the truest one."

"The first war of Donald Trump’s Board of Peace era has begun – an unprovoked attempt at regime change in collaboration with Israel, with no legal foundation, launched in the midst of diplomatic efforts to avert conflict, and with minimal consultation with Congress or the American public."

"Trump’s recorded eight-minute address after the first bombs had fallen, made clear that this would be no limited strike aimed at cajoling Tehran into concessions at the negotiating table."

"Last June, Trump crowed that the United States 'obliterated' Iran’s nuclear program. Now, he says that we have to wage war in order to stop the nuclear program he claimed to have obliterated."

"The claim that Iran was about to build a nuclear weapon has not been established. It is all the odder as a justification for war given that this administration has already claimed many times to have destroyed the Iranian nuclear weapons program. ...

A war is a time when we will be told not to ask questions. But a war is actually when questions must be asked."

And you may ask... Which kind of pictures was the AFP photographer taking in #Milei 's #Argentina that the police almost kill him?
Good question!
I'll show you which kind of pictures they were taking that the police decided to start attacking reporters in Milei's Argentina. 👇
This is Javier Milei's country model. No freedom of press. No pensions. No freedom of expression (unless you're a Nazi in twitter, that is ok for him). This is funded and supported by Milei's friends: #elonmusk and #trump .

“DHS officers have fired shots during enforcement arrests or at people protesting their operations 16 times since July, and as in the recent shootings in Minneapolis, in each case the Trump admin has publicly declared their actions justified before waiting for investigations to be completed."

"A plurality of Americans now want to abolish ICE, a position that before this year was considered a crazy lefty idea no smart Democrat would want to associate themselves with. Both privately and publicly, Republicans have been telling Trump that he’s losing the public relations battle over Minneapolis."

"The killing by federal agents of two Americans in Minneapolis this month — Renee Good on Jan. 7, 2026, and Alex Pretti on Jan. 24 — has created a backlash to the administration’s policy of mass deportations and 'immigration enforcement' that is causing voters (in all parties) to move against the president’s agenda."

Shitmuffins at Davos giving Trump a standing ovation.

Listening to Fiona Hill is like taking a master's degree in the power relations between Putin and Trump. Their personalities, their intentions, their strategies (or lack thereof) and their geopolitical visions (or lack thereof).

This excellent interview by David Frum is very enlightening.

"The effects of the fossil fuel industry’s influence and the climate denial it induces have infiltrated all levels of the federal government, from Congress to federal agencies to the highest elected offices. In fact, during the 116th and 119th Congresses, both during Trump administrations, more than half of these leadership positions were occupied by climate deniers—a composition that has increased over time."

Os Escravos unidos poden atacar #Irán nas próximas 24 horas — #Reuters, citando a un funcionario Europeo

Outro funcionario, nunha conversa coa axencia, chamou a unha intervención militar dos #EUA probable.

Un funcionario Israelí cre que #Trump xa decidiu sobre o ataque pero a súa escala e tempo aínda están sendo aclarados.

Como leve nota de optimismo, al menos nos queda la esperanza de que los tribunales sigan parando a Trump. En el vídeo, Rachel Maddow informa de todas las órdenes presidenciales que han sido detenidas preventivamente en los tribunales estadounidenses y son bastantes. De hecho, algunos congresistas republicanos ya se están sumando a determinadas iniciativas para bloquear varias de estas órdenes.

Puedo confirmar que los daneses siempre han sido muy afines a la cultura estadounidense y mi pareja (danesa) tiene familia y buenos amigos en ese país y siempre ha querido visitar de nuevo Iowa.

Ahora mismo básicamente no puedes mencionar el nombre de Trump en su presencia sin que se salga de sus casillas

#EEUU ataca #Venezuela, y #Trump acaba de anunciar que ha capturado a Nicolás Maduro.

Madre mía, empieza fuertecito el año. Ni desayunar tranquilo puede uno.

Os leo y creo que se está magnificando (y sobrevalorando) la importancia del petróleo en esto. Recordemos que #EEUU hace años que logró la autosuficiencia en hidrocarburos, no necesita el petróleo de #Venezuela. Y sí, esto no quiere decir que #EstadosUnidos vaya a renunciar al petróleo, el petróleo venezolano corre a raudales y es de un tipo específico, muy pesado, para el cual Estados Unidos tiene tecnología adaptada para su refinado y comercialización (recordemos que comercia ya con él). Demasiado tentador. Habrá que ver, después de esto, a qué acuerdos se llega con el nuevo Gobierno en cuanto a contratos por el petróleo.

Y sí, ya lo he dicho aquí varias veces, #Trump reconoció abiertamente que de lo que más se arrepentía de su primer mandato era de no haberse quedado con el petróleo de Venezuela, pero recordemos que el objetivo personal primero de Trump en este mandato es el Nobel de la Paz, no el petróleo venezolano. Y esa es la principal motivación de la agresión (esa, y la recuperación del dominio del continente).

Que el petróleo es un caramelo suculento y también está en la mira, sí. Pero yo no descartaría que, si se consigue la destrucción del régimen chavista y la restauración de la democracia en Venezuela, Trump se conforme con eso y si acaso algunos contratos ventajosos.

Que es verdad que EE.UU. nunca (o casi nunca) ha atacado a un país sin una contraprestación, normalmente en recursos, pero el EE.UU. de Trump no es el EE.UU. de siempre.

🇻🇪 In a few hours #Trump will unleash hell on #Venezuela. I'm not religious but let's send some thoughts and prayers to our brothers and sisters about to suffer the bulk of the first wave.

It's not like Venezuela had amazing infrastructure before this, but the choke points will make the situation even more unbearable.

In South America we can deal with rolling blackouts and lack of water, but with missiles pouring from the sky from all directions, the situation will escape control quickly.

My preferred choice would see Maduro taking the safe passage and fucking off with his billions and tons of gold.

It ends before morning. No 2nd wave.

Rebuild and Venezuelans get to decide by voting, not the Nobel Prize CIA Asset.

The US sucks at regime change.
