Friends + Interlocutors,

In retrospect, Trump’s seizure of Venezuela’s heavy petroleum is looking like a brilliant war crime. A logical run-up to the decapitation of Iran. Could these two unprovoked, illegal attacks be connected? Somebody is getting rich. 

Grab all the world's natural resources you can while you can. That’s what Trump's attempted Greenland caper signified. There’s a pattern. Trump loves to take things, and bully people. He and Israel were made for each other.
