I'm not trying to diagnose Trump, because you need far more background, I'm not qualified and the presence of psychopathic traits, doesn't necessarily make someone a psychopath, they might be more of a narcissist. Nevertheless, these are objective observable traits. @DanCady

My overall point, is that self-evidently, the current president of the United States has a worrying number (most) known, observable psychopathic traits. He lies constantly, never takes responsibility for anything, and he's criminally versatile, to list but a few.

Not since Hitler and the Nazis, has the leader of a major power said openly that they intend to annex and expropriate territory and countries, it has no historical territorial claim to. Donald Trump is openly acting like Hitler and the Nazis.
1/🧵
I am not saying Russia and China are right, but they do have historical territorial claims to Ukraine and Taiwan, because they used to be part of their countries. Whereas the US has no historical territorial claims to Canada or Greenland, as they've never been part of the US.
2/
In fact, there is a huge moral problem with historical territorial claims to other countries or territories, but that is another issue. I am only saying there is some basis to their claims. But there is none to the demands of Trump and the US regime. Pure gangsterism.

Let's deconstruct Trump's kidnapping of Maduro, which is not quite the show of American strength it might first appear. It has been widely reported, that the US had inside help i.e. someone in Maduro's circle, reporting his location. This is what allowed the US to do this.
1/🧵
Without this, it'd have been difficult for the US to mount this raid, as reliable real time intelligence, is crucial to this type of operation. Even if it's known a target is often at a location, this isn't enough, because they may have been elsewhere at the time of the raid.
2/
Presumably, the insider provided other information, such as layout, the numbers of bodyguards, their arrangement, nearby military forces that could come to the rescue. If the US had failed, it would have alerted Maduro to their intentions.

"Zack Polanski offering voters fantasy solutions, says head of Fabian Society"
I'm fed up with these mindless attacks on @ZackPolanski, on the grounds he's unrealistic. It's those from the mainstream economic background who are peddling fantasy.
We're in the midst of a climate and ecological emergency. It is an emergency, because mainstream politicians have taken no realistic decisions, which will avert catastrophe, and now only the most radical change to our system, will save us.

“There are now no non-radical futures. The choice is between immediate and profound social change or waiting a little longer for chaotic and violent social change. In 2023 the window for this choice is rapidly closing.” Climate Scientist @KevinClimate
This is a massive hidden scandal, because this same clique of super billionaire/oligarchs, now control most of the media, legacy and social. They plan to replace a vast amount of human workers with AI and robots. Hence the concocted immigrant panic, as a distraction. 1/
"‘You’re barred!’: Labour’s battle with pubs promises a new year headache"
Either Keir Starmer is the most politically inept person to become PM, or he's a mole, placed in the Labour Party, to destroy it, and is pursuing some sort of hidden agenda.
It is mind-boggling how much policy, and decisions Keir Starmer has made, which play right into the hands of Reform and the Tories, and make Labour unpopular. This is plain political stupidity. There's no rhyme or reason to his decisions.
2/
Every time I point this out, I'm told it's Morgan McSweeney, and he's behind all this. I'm not bothered if McSweeney writes out a script every day for Starmer to follow, because the buck stops with Starmer.

I made this post, in response to a mindless post by Elon Musk, claiming that 80% of under 18 year olds in Belgium, were foreigners, to aid his far right, racist agenda. I was attacked by his sycophants, all misrepresenting what I said and why.
1/🧵
My point was very simple. The right wing populists, white supremacists, centred in the US, are spreading their white replacement conspiracy theories and whipping up hatred of "foreigners", with no irony, that they are all descended from immigrants.
2/
Even in the UK, the white English nationalists, totally miss the irony, that their claimed pure ethnicity, is derived from Anglo-Saxon boat people immigrants, that swamped the Celts inhabiting Britain.
