But the mere prospect of such conflict only highlights how much more difficult it is now for #US #allies to toe the line with #Trump. That, too, could lead to a drastic deterioration of the transatlantic #alliance if not its end, analysts say.
“Many European countries are still seeking to ride both a European and an American horse,” Rahman said. “That may become impossible.”

Another option would be to make a deal on #Greenland — a sale or lease, with expanded access to #mineral rights, & #US role in #security. In the event of a crisis, “the rest of #Europe will lean on #Denmark to make some kind of arrangement with the #US,” Rahman said.

Whether its gaming or grasping, European leaders face unpalatable choices. One is to stick with the unified hard line that emerged in recent days, making clear that any move on #Greenland could trigger a response by European #allies — not against #Russia or #China but, unthinkably, against the #UnitedStates.

Invoking the #NATO treaties collective defense clause, known as #Article5, under which an attack on one member is regarded as an attack on all, requires the #unanimity of all 32 #allies. The #US, of course, would reject any plea for help by #Denmark — effectively neutering the #treaty.
“Article 5 did not anticipate that the invading country would be a member of NATO,” Sen. Chris Murphy (D-CT) told reporters asking about bill in #Congress to prohibit #Trump for acting in #Greenland.

Visitors can pass through the #Capitol without any formal reminder of what happened that day, when a mob of #Trump supporters stormed the building trying to overturn the Republican’s 2020 reelection defeat to Democrat #JoeBiden. With memory left unchecked, it allows new narratives to swirl & revised histories to take hold.

5 years ago, the jarring scene watched the world over was declared an “ #insurrection” by the then-GOP leader of the #Senate, while the #House #GOP leader at the time called it his “saddest day” in #Congress. But those condemnations have faded.
#Trump calls it a “day of love.” And #MikeJohnson, who was among those lawmakers challenging the 2020 election results, is now House speaker.

"The Venezuelan coup created the type of ultraviolent spectacle that Trump revels in, but it had little rationale other than providing an advertisement for Trump’s vision of a world of unbridled imperial plunder divided into spheres of influence."

"With his domestic support flailing and his reputation threatened by new revelations of his ties to the late pedophile Jeffrey Epstein, Trump is turning to foreign policy as an arena where he can still flex his muscles. This is especially true in the Western Hemisphere, where the United States has long enjoyed a de facto sphere of influence under the dubious justification of the Monroe Doctrine."

Mehdi Hasan notes that law professor Barb McQuade and others have asked if it's coincidental that Trump bombed Venezuela on January 3. "It was the date that the DOJ was supposed to respond and didn't. And the Epstein Transparency Law that was passed in December by Congress, reluctantly signed by Donald Trump."
"Trump told the oil companies about the Venezuela plan, but neglected to tell Congress. This invasion isn’t about protecting Americans, it’s military assistance for big oil and his billionaire friends."

"Trump is drunk on war. The spectacle of violence on behalf of naked plunder gives him a sense of power. During his press conference on Saturday, Trump exulted, 'Overwhelming American military power, air, land, and sea was used to launch a spectacular assault, and it was a—an assault like people have not seen since World War II.'”

Because commentary on what Trump is doing vis-a-vis Venezuela (and threatening to do to other nations) keeps pouring out, I'm going to create a second thread today, to complement the long one I created earlier today — the link to that is below.

"instead simply gathering power into their own hands for the benefit of themselves and their cronies, trusting that Republican politicians will go along and the American people will not object enough to force the issue. The refusal of the Department of Justice to obey the clear direction of the Epstein Files Transparency Act seems to have been a test of Congress’s resolve, and so far, it is a gamble the administration appears to be winning."
