Nothing new to anyone who follows what goes on in the rest of the world. The West (mostly Europe) just sat in comfort until Putin and now Trump and they are still adjusting to the fact that the world is actually very hostile.

I wouldn’t be surprised if that ended up in acquiescence with America’s withdrawal from NATO.

  I don't really understand why Trump would want more money though. He's already got more than enough for a really comfortable rest of his life.

I still don't understand why some people wanted to capture Putin so much and now against Maduro capture when clearly Maduro has done something uncomparably worse to the people in his country. Greenland is of course a very different deal compared to Venezuela, it will be interesting to see the political push to the EU.

  Sovereignty means wrongs done by a head of state outside of the borders of the state are more suitable for international response than wrongs done within the state. Probably including usurping the head of state position. Also, charges of war crimes are more serious than charges of drug trafficing.

  America did that whole “leader is bad let’s get him”, in Afghanistan and Iraq. We saw how that turned out. Nobody cared when Putin or Trump were abusing their own citizens. It’s when they invade other countries where the problem begins.

Don't forget that the main countries who fought in the Iraq war were the US, UK, Australia, and Poland, with significant contributions from Spain, Denmark, The Netherlands, and Italy. In Afganistan, countries fighting were the US, UK, Canada, Australia, Germany, Italy, France, Poland, The Netherlands, Turkey, Georgia, Romania, Denmark, Norway, Spain, New Zealand, South Korea.
