Bari Weiss' CBS news is claiming the death toll in Iran could be "as many as 20,000," claiming to get this number from two sources, including one in Iran.

These numbers, which are being used to pressure for a US intervention, are just totally unbelievable, but there will be absolutely no accountability when it's confirmed that they were fake.

Frankly it's embarrassing that Denmark sends its Foreign Minister to Washington to participate in further publicity stunts for Donald Trump -- after he has repeatedly threatened to attack the country with military force.

If Trump wants to discuss something about Greenland, he can send a delegation to Copenhagen. Other than that, the case is closed.

All European countries (and Canada) should tell Washington that they will stop hosting US soldiers on their bases until the US administration stops all aggression. I mean, that is the lowest level of response.

But then again, these people are pathetic, so they won't live up to normal standards of behaviour.

This isn't play acting. This isn't a negotiation tactic. This is so infantile and detached from reality that I think Trump has lost his mind.

He needs to be removed from office.

It needs to happen soon, because the longer Vance goes along with this, the lower his credibility sinks.

The longer this goes on, the harder it will be to repair America's relationships with other white countries.

The longer this goes on, the less seriously the rest of the world will take America.

And when the world ceases to trust and fear the US, there will be a mad scramble to change the status quo all over the planet, which will quickly go violent, draw in more and more countries, and there's very little chance that the world will end up a better place in the end. I am particularly worried that Putin will try to seize control of NATO countries in Eastern Europe.

Biden was America's Pu Yi: a child emperor whose decisions were made by courtiers.

Trump is America's Caligula: a mad emperor who needs to be removed from office.

I have usually assumed Trump is playing the madman for effect. Mostly because it's difficult to relate to the idea that someone is nuts and not pretending. We think there MUST be some "4D chess" behind the deranged things he's done.

Now I am convinced he's batshit crazy.
