"Europes dilemma on Venezuela: If Europe acquiesces in U.S. actions against the Maduro regime it risks weakening the legal principles that underpin its opposition to Russias invasion of Ukraine. If it condemns those actions however Europe risks alienating its primary security guarantor and straining transatlantic unity at a moment when collective defense against Russia is especially critical. This dilemma exists only because international law has been applied inconsistently for decades. Europe must now choose between legal principle and strategic necessity a choice that reveals whether the so"

"The Venezuelan operation just provided Europe and the world with the first tangible and dramatic demonstration of the Trump administrations determination to establish American hegemony in the Western Hemisphere as made explicit in its US National Security Strategy published last month. What do EU national leaders do They posture. Hungary backs US intervention. Spain denounces it. Most stay silent thus acting as accomplices. Yet none of these opinions matters alone (do they realize this) even less the supposedly joint statement below. At the precise moment their territorial integrity -"

"Unless the EU and its member states condemn Trumps threats on Greenland theyre not just dependent on America - theyre its hostage. European leaders fear tariffs need Trump for Ukraine and hope this "blows over." It won't. Ironically Washington now speaks openly in terms of FAFO F* Around and Find Out**: a clear signal that challenges to core interests trigger consequences. Europe should internalize the principle not the tone. Not military bravado (we cant really afford it) but strategic unity: threaten European territory face unified consequences. Economic. Diplomatic. Institutional. Not"
