"Is this some sort of new diplomatic initiative, the direct insult followed by a petulant whine?" << basically trump's foreign policy

The histories that end with “the military takes power” invariably begin with the military being legitimately called in to keep order

NYT content aside, this is one of the most remarkable photos I’ve ever seen.
It was taken by Los Angeles photographer Jacob Ogden on Temescal Canyon Road in Palisades.
It looks like a medieval painting of the end of days.
Jacob’s work is on his website below👇
