The world's longest-running geopolitical drama: "Keeping Up with the Kims!" While Trump was busy on the campaign trail talking about, well, Trump (shocking, I know), our favorite hermit kingdom has been quietly planning season 2024 of their hit series "How to Get Attention Without Starting World War III." North Korea: The Reality Show Nobody Asked For, But Can't Stop Watching You see, North Korea is like that friend who posts cryptic social media updates when they're feeling ignored. Except instead of vague Facebook statuses, they launch missiles. It's their way of saying "Hey, remember us? We're still here! And look what we can do!" It's basically international relations meets toddler show-and-tell, but with nuclear warheads. Remember 2017? When Trump went all "fire and fury" on Kim Jong Un? That was like watching two reality TV stars trying to out-drama each other. Trump was giving us his best "You're fire...

Return of the Wall: This Time It's Personal Grab your hard hats and your Trump-branded taco bowls, because The Wall is getting a sequel! That's right, like "Fast and Furious" but with more concrete and fewer car chases. Trump and his potential VP pick JD Vance are basically the Batman and Robin of border security, except instead of fighting crime in Gotham, they're determined to turn the US-Mexico border into the world's longest home improvement project. The Great Wall of Trump 2.0: Now With Extra Spice! The Military Solution: Because Why Not Add Some Tanks to Taco Tuesday? Trump and Vance have suggested sending the US military into Mexico, because apparently, they've mistaken cartel documentaries on Netflix for invasion planning guides. Picture it: US troops rolling into Mexico, only to find themselves stuck in traffic behind a convoy of spring break tourists heading to Cancún. "Sir, we've located the target!" "Is it the cartel?...

The Party's Over, Folks! Remember that lovely "holiday from history" after the Cold War? You know, that magical time when America's biggest foreign policy concern was deciding which countries to invite to our democracy-spreading parties? Well, guess what? The vacation's over, the hotel bill is due, and reality is banging on our door like an angry neighbor complaining about our decades-long karaoke session of "We Are The World." The Great Geopolitical Hangover: America's Holiday from History is Over (And Boy, Does Our Head Hurt) Welcome to the Global Drama Club The world has entered what experts call a "period of protracted systemic instability," which is fancy-speak for "everything's gone bonkers." It's like someone took the global Jenga tower we've been carefully building since 1991 and decided to play it in a hurricane. On a boat. During an earthquake. The New Reality Show: "Keeping Up With The Global Powers...

Ah, Venezuela – the soap opera that keeps on giving! Picture this: it's like a messy breakup where one ex (Trump) spent four years trying to make the other ex (Maduro) jealous by hanging out with their rival (Juan Guaidó), only to realize that maybe, just maybe, they should've just talked it out over coffee. Or in this case, over a barrel of oil. Venezuela and Trump: When Oil Romance Goes Wrong During Trump's first rodeo as president, he went full "The Art of the Deal" on Venezuela. His maximum-pressure campaign was basically the diplomatic equivalent of putting all your ex's stuff in garbage bags and leaving them on the front lawn. Sanctions here, sanctions there, sanctions everywhere! It was like watching someone try to open a jar by hitting it repeatedly with a hammer – sure, it makes a lot of noise, but is it really getting you anywhere? But hold onto your empanadas, folks, because Trump 2.0 might be a whole different telenovela! These days, he's a...

Ah, NATO! The world's most exclusive military book club, where everyone promises to read the whole book but mostly just shows up for the snacks and gossip. Now they're facing their biggest challenge yet: Trump 2.0 - The Sequel Nobody Asked For But Everyone's Getting Anyway. NATO's Guide to Surviving Your Ex Coming Back as Your Boss For the past year, European leaders have been trying to "Trump-proof" NATO with the same desperate energy as parents attempting to child-proof a house for a toddler who's already learned to pick locks. They were hoping they'd never have to test their defenses, kind of like how we all hope we'll never have to use those emergency airplane instructions we never read. But here we are, folks! Enter Mark Rutte, NATO's new secretary general, who's inherited the job at what we'll charitably call an "interesting" time. It's like being hired as a wedding planner the day before the bride's ex decide...
