Donald Trump n'est pas le premier président des États-Unis qualifié de narcissique et de mythomane, mais si une compétition olympique opposait Trump à Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, Barack Obama et Joe Biden, il décrocherait le gros lot haut la main.

Commençons par les fables de Trump concernant sa prétendue capacité à mettre fin à huit guerres.

Over the weekend, as a US carrier strike group made its way toward Iran, President Trump told Politico, "It's time to look for new leadership in Iran." This pro "regime change" statement came just days after the US and Israel-led covert operation to overthrow the Iranian government was finally defeated by Iranian authorities.

The US President is making it clear he is not giving up on "regime change" for Iran.

The most disturbing lesson from the 2014 Maidan Revolution in Ukraine that has been well-learned by the various intelligence agencies in this business is that the application of extreme violence - especially aimed at law enforcement, other state authorities, and civilians - provides an effective template upon which to further the regime change narrative.

Finnian Cunningham, Jeremy Kuzmarov, Daniel Kovalik, KJ Now, and Ron Ridenour have published a useful compendium of some of Washington's regime changes and public deceptions since World War II. The information they have collected is well known and largely correct. The authors use the information to reach the reasonable conclusion that by its own actions the US government over time has discredited the belief that the US government is a well-meaning one holding out hope to the world.

U.S. President Donald Trump wrote a letter the Prime Minister of Norway, Jonas Gahr Støre. Staff at the National Security Council delivered copies of the letter to European ambassadors in Washington DC.

A copy was provided to a Newshour journalist:

Trump will continue to demand Greenland until something is done by Europe to decisively stop him.

When Trump tried to kill trade with China by imposing sky-high tariffs the Chinese responded by stopping export of rare earth minerals and rare earth products.

A lot has happened since I last wrote, most of it relating to an enormous wintry island called Greenland, which was first settled by the Norse in the Middle Ages and which has been a part of the Danish kingdom since the eighteenth century.

The first such thing that happened, was that Danish Foreign Minister Lars Lokke Rasmussen met with U.S.

Ever since 1986, when Austria had an even lower life-expectancy than the U.S. did, there has been NO EU or other U.S.-allied country that has had as low a life-expectancy as the U.S. had, and the size of this difference has been steadily increasing year-after-year, so that what had been a small difference between the U.S. and its peers in 1982 (just six tenths of a year) is now, as-of the latest year, 2023, 4.1 years.

A couple of weeks ago, in my post headlined What Would Smedley Butler Say about Venezuela?, I expressed my intuition that the Trump administration had probably figured out a way to persuade or incentivize the Venezuelan military and security forces to stand down when the U.S. launched its raid to abduct President Maduro. Apart from Maduro's largely Cuban praetorian guard, little resistance was mounted against the Delta Force team and supporting U.S.

It is well known that people argue vociferously over U.S. politics. They have always argued, but we are now so deep into maniacal disagreements that something significant has changed. People scream at each other or refuse to speak.

À en juger par les sondages d'opinion, le public américain s'avère de plus en plus exaspéré par le comportement erratique du président Donald J. Trump et de son staff de conseillers peu recommandables. La semaine dernière, il a rencontré le ministre danois des Affaires étrangères ainsi que son homologue de l'Assemblée législative du Groenland. La réunion n'a pas permis de résoudre la controverse autour des prétentions "inacceptables" de Trump, qui exige que les États-Unis acquièrent le Groenland, "en l'achetant" si nécessaire, afin de préserver leur sécurité nationale contre une éventuelle invasion par des navires russes et chinois qui, selon lui, infesteraient déjà les eaux arctiques au nord.

Nos politiciens et opinion-makersont vécu une semaine mouvementée. Des rumeurs selon lesquelles le Groenland serait annexé à tout moment par les troupes américaines font haleter de nombreux analystes politiques.

Alors que l'Occident prétend défendre un «ordre international fondé sur des règles», une affaire judiciaire révélatrice expose une dérive inquiétante : la résurrection opportuniste de dettes centenaires pour justifier la confiscation d'actifs souverains. Derrière une plainte texane aux accents absurdes se dessine une mutation profonde de la guerre financière contemporaine, où le droit devient une arme et le passé, une matière saisissable.

Tout le monde s'inquiète de l'état des relations transatlantiques, de la puissance expansionniste des USA (Groenland et le reste) qui accélère l'effondrement européen. « America is back » titrent des journalistes en mal d'originalité et férus de formules amputées (ils pourraient écrire au moins "Back Again", non ?). C'est le temps du délice masochiste européen de célébration de la puissance de son maître et souteneur qui la traite comme telle, - esclave et travailleuse du sexe.

Je suis favorable à un changement de régime aux États-Unis. Un vrai, pas un simple changement de personnel tous les trois ou quatre ans.

Je suis tout à fait pour le renversement des structures de pouvoir tyranniques, mais je pense qu'il faut commencer par la pire.

Pourquoi devrais-je soutenir le renversement violent des ennemis de l'empire américain alors que l'empire lui-même reste intact ? Pourquoi devrais-je vouloir aider la seule structure de pouvoir qui terrorise et détruit des nations à travers le monde dans le but d'une domination planétaire totale ? Pourquoi devrais-je faciliter la campagne de propagande de la dernière opération de changement de régime impériale en parlant de la tyrannie et de l'oppression du méchant du moment, alors que cela ne fera que renforcer l'hégémonie mondiale de l'empire ?

Tension in Iran has increase recently, as economic woes and reactions against the Islamic regime in power have led to protests that have been met with violence and death inflicted by the forces in power. Trump has threatened armed intervention if the deaths continue. There is every reason to oppose this. But before getting into what might happen in Iran, there is another issue that we need to address, and this issue is basic.

The MAGA voting bloc may have been willfully deceived, but one year into Trump 2.0, it is kind of obvious who is getting the shaft, and how Trump's neocolonialism is actually working.

Some credit Trump's interventionary intentions to the financial needs of his political donors and billionaire pals. But a younger Donald Trump believed the same things the older Trump does today.

Judging from opinion polls, the American public has increasingly become largely disenchanted with the bizarre behavior of President Donald J Trump and the clownish entourage that surrounds and encourages him. Last week featured a meeting between Trump and the foreign minister of Denmark as well as his counterpart from Greenland's legislative assembly.

I support regime change in the United States. The real kind, not the "new face at the front desk every few years" kind.

I'm all for overthrowing tyrannical power structures, I just think we should start with the worst one.

Why should I support the violent overthrow of the US empire's enemies while the US empire itself remains standing ? Why should I want to help the one power structure that's terrorizing and destroying nations around the world with the goal of total planetary domination ? Why should I facilitate the propaganda campaign of the latest imperial regime change operation by talking about the tyranny and oppressiveness of the Official Bad Guy of the Day when it will do nothing but help the empire expand its global hegemony?

The US might abandon its new interest in backing radical "security guarantees" for Ukraine due to worsening ties with Western Europe; increasingly Polish-led Central & Eastern Europe could replace Western Europe's strategic importance for the US; and intra-EU rifts might accordingly widen.

Trump announced that the US will impose 10% additional tariffs on those NATO allies next month who symbolically dispatched a handful of military units to Greenland ahead of upcoming multilateral drills there with Denmark before scaling this to 25% on 1 June.

Alors que la CIA mène une guerre secrète à travers le monde, les conséquences se font sentir sur le sol américain avec des conséquences désastreuses. Ce qui semble être le cas avec, le mois dernier, le meurtre de deux membres de la Garde nationale de Virginie-Occidentale à Washington, DC.
