There was a song by Phil Ochs, back in 1966, called ‘ cops of the world’. It was a protest song about America, trying to run the world, putting itself in countries that it should not have. The following are a couple of verses of that song.

We’ve rammed in your harbor and tied to your port
And our pistols are hungry and our tempers are short
So bring your daughters around to the port
‘Cause we’re the Cops of the World, boys

We’re the Cops of the World
We pick and choose as please, boys
Pick and choose as please
You’d best get down on your knees, boys

Since the abduction of Venezuelan leader, Maduro, Donald Trump is doing his own version of cops of the world. He has threatened a number of countries.

Trump has threatened Columbia and its leader

“a sick man who likes making cocaine and selling it to the United States”.

“And he’s not going to be doing it very long. Let me tell you.”

Trump is saying that Cuba will fall soon

“Cuba is ready to fall. Cuba now has no income. They got all of their income from Venezuela, from the Venezuelan oil. They’re not getting any of it. Cuba literally is ready to fall.”

Trump is threatening Mexico.

“has to get their act together because they’re [drugs] pouring through Mexico and we’re going to have to do something”.

Trump continues to threaten Iran. Warning Iran’s leaders that if they take actions against protesters, in Iran, America will react to it.

Trump is getting more strident about Greenland being annexed to the United States. Greenland is a sovereign entity under Denmark. If the US takes over Greenland, that would be a direct attack against a NATO country.

Talking about NATO countries, Trump keeps talking about annexing Canada, as the 51st state. Something that even six months ago would’ve been deemed, as laughable, isn’t that laughable anymore

We are in the era of anything can happen. The end of 2026 could see a radical reshaping of the world contingent on whether we are still around to see it.

That’s all I have for today.
