I thought that everyone else would also think that the senator in the picture was concerned that the US is getting all a twitter about a potential oil war.
But no, the concern in the senators face was all about two people who were trying to survive conditions that murdered the other nine people who were on a "canoe" compared to the US armada headed their way.
The program's name (Deadline White House) is however appropriately named.
Anyway, the world sees this "shining city on a hill" madness as a microcosm or symbolic depiction of the new spirit of the Department of War in the government whose president lusts for a Nobel peace prize as he plots to take Venezuela's oil wells and wealth laden mines:
As the year comes to a close, 2025 looks like a turning point in the world’s fight against climate change. Most conspicuously, it was the year the U.S. abandoned the effort. The Trump administration pulled out of the 2015 Paris Agreement, which unites virtually all the world’s countries in a voluntary commitment to halt climate change. And for the first time in the 30-year history of the U.N.’s international climate talks, the U.S. did not send a delegation to the annual conference, COP30, which took place in Belém, Brazil.
The Trump administration’s assault on climate action has been far from symbolic. Over the summer, the president pressed his Republican majority in Congress to gut a Biden-era law that was projected to cut U.S. emissions by roughly a third compared to their peak, putting the country within reach of its Paris Agreement commitments. In the fall, Trump officials used hardball negotiating tactics to stall, if not outright derail, a relatively uncontroversial international plan to decarbonize the heavily polluting global shipping industry. And even though no other country has played a larger role in causing climate change, the U.S. under Trump has cut the vast majority of global climate aid funding, which is intended to help countries that are in the crosshairs of climate change despite doing virtually nothing to cause it.
These stark shifts in the U.S. position on climate change, which President Donald Trump has called a “hoax” and “con job,” are only the latest and most visible signs of a deeper shift underway. Historically, the U.S. and other wealthy, high-emitting nations have been cast as the primary drivers of climate action, both because of their outsize responsibility for the crisis and because of the greater resources at their disposal. "
(2025: The year the US gave up on climate, and the world gave up on us). Meanwhile the lack-of-news-media whimpers not about the 87 who were killed, but about the 2 who were.
Proper killing is a thing with them, which is their way of slowing down the constantly approaching nuclear holocaust concepts with the denial enhanced comfort in hopey changy books (Climate-Change Summer or Nuclear Winter?)
Anyway:
