Nikita Khrushchev said "We will take America without firing a shot" in 1956.
Putin is fulfilling the words of Kruschshev: and he has the kompromat on trump to achieve it!
Imagine an underwater Grand Canyon where corals have been growing since before the United States was founded. 🐠
Plunged in total darkness. Untouched. Protected.
Until one signature changed everything.
On February 6, 2026, that's exactly what happened.
The Northeast Canyons and Seamounts Marine National Monument is bigger than Yellowstone.
Its submarine canyons drop into depths we're still mapping. There are sea creatures here science hasn't even named yet.
It’s underwater mountains — millions of years old, rise from the ocean floor, drawing sperm whales and endangered right whales from miles away.
The cold-water corals living here? Some have been growing for over a thousand years. A trawl net destroys them in seconds. They don't grow back in our lifetimes.
The monument was created in 2016 for one reason — to keep this ecosystem off limits from exactly this kind of destruction.
It worked. Until February.
One person. One signature. Zero public input. No congressional vote. No comment period. Just a proclamation — and a thousand-year-old ecosystem lost its protection overnight.
Proclamation 11009 — "Unleashing American Commercial Fishing in the Atlantic"— erased the ban overnight. Trawl gear, dredges, otter nets. Now permitted inside monument boundaries.
And here's the part that should make you angry — this administration tried this exact move in 2020. Conservation groups sued. They won. Biden restored protections.
Now we're back here.
How many more monuments have to lose their protections before Congress does something? 🐠
