“If the United States asserts the right to use military force
to invade and capture foreign leaders it accuses of criminal conduct,
what prevents China from claiming the same authority over Taiwan’s
leadership? What stops [Russian President] Vladimir Putin from
asserting similar justification to abduct Ukraine’s president? Once
this line is crossed, the rules that restrain global chaos begin to
collapse, and authoritarian regimes will be the first to exploit it.”

(Democratic vice-chairman of the Senate Intelligence
Committee, Senator Mark Warner. )

Donald Trump seems to believe that he makes the rules, and what
applies to the US under his command does not mean others can expect
the same privileges.

But that is not how the world of power works.

His actions at the start of 2026 point to another 12 months of
global turbulence.

I fear that it may well be the start of
something way worse than a year of “ turbulence”!

Add this to his threats to take over
Greenland , Canada, turn Gaza into a resort and his inability to tell
the same lies twice and I believe this guy belongs in the funny farm
rather than the White House…..
