YSK that in the US, denaturalization, the process of revoking a person's citizenship, does not require proof "Beyond reasonable doubt" in c/youshouldknow@lemmy.world

You should probably include the actual grounds for denaturalization in your post, not just the standard of proof:

the Nationality Act retained as possible causes of denaturalization, treason, sedition, or conspiring against the United States; employment as an official with policy-making authority of a foreign government; and voluntary renunciation...Fraud, committed in conjunction with an application for naturalization can also make nationality voidable.

US may relinquish leadership of NATO's European command, NBC reports in c/europe@feddit.org

I've seen this said before, and I'll say it again. If Trump is NOT an agent, paid or otherwise, of Russia (and he may well not be!)--he is doing an incredible job of accomplishing every single thing that a Russian agent would want to.

Ending military support for Ukraine.

Alienating our European allies.

Kneecapping our economic advantages.

Pulling us back from NATO, thus weakening both ourselves and the alliance.

Really mind blowing, isn't it?
