Can anyone get confirmation from Ecuador that this is a joint venture? I don't believe a word that comes out of the Trump administration war machine.

U.S. Military Joins Drug War in Ecuador: “It Wasn’t Going to Be Just Boat Strikes Forever”

Two government officials told The Intercept that the joint U.S.–Ecuador military action won’t just be a one-off raid.

It is unclear if U.S. forces are engaged in ground combat alongside their partner forces, as is common in America’s secret wars elsewhere in the world, or simply providing support in intelligence, logistics, and mission planning.

“The operations are a powerful example of the commitment of partners in Latin America and the Caribbean to combat the scourge of narco-terrorism,” U.S. Southern Command said in a spare statement announcing the latest front in President Donald Trump’s globe-spanning wars. A short video accompanying the post on X shows footage of helicopters without context.

The military operation came a day after Marine Gen. Francis Donovan, commander of SOUTHCOM, met with Ecuadorian President Daniel Noboa in Quito, Ecuador, to discuss “security cooperation” and “reaffirm the United States’ strong commitment to supporting the nation’s efforts to confront narco-terrorism and strengthen regional security.” He teased the possibility the U.S. would “expand” its military ties with the South American nation.

I am pretty sure that Donnyboy just wanted to flex before Vlad how such a special military operation is done in the right way. And join the club of war criminals before the ICC. Reich-Praesidents will be Reich-Praesidents, if I have the spelling right. I've decided I'm going to start putting...

The Exiles have always wanted the US to put one of them in charge of Cuba as essentially "Viceroy" and turn Cuba back into "America's Pet Banana Republic" again.

We need to ban foreign payments for political purposes. Or just criminalise working with foreign entities to influence domestic politics

For GB News’s funders, a £130m loss is a small price to pay for vast influence

The channel of “reactionary rage bait” has just released its latest accounts, which are yet another demonstration that there’s no shortage of funds on the right of British politics, argues Sam Bright

Mike seems outraged that Trump's White House is so corrupt. That's adorable.

Mike seems outraged that Trump's White House is so corrupt. That's adorable.

Next week he will turn up shocking evidence that Trump has lied about some things. And hold onto your hat when he finds out there just might be a misogynistic tinge to some of their policies.

In a few years we will read, "Mike Levin's hard-hitting exposes were what finally forced Congress to take action." (In other news, pigs fly and wishes are dishes.)

I think it is less being outraged that it is so corrupt as it is frustration that so much awful shit is happening all the time that nothing sticks or gets any traction before the new shit happens. It is by design. Flood the field.

I can't believe I'm posting something about Trump forcing staff to wear the shoes he wears. But here we are.

I can't believe I'm posting something about Trump forcing staff to wear the shoes he wears. But here we are.

I'm trying to understand why, if Trump gives them the wrong size, they don't simply buy an identical pair in the right size. He's not going to remember what size he gave them. Or simply swap the shoes amongst themselves.
