Danish reporter Rasmus Svaneborg grills NATO's Rutte over his silence when US President Trump talks about conquering Greenland and lashes out at Spain. "Does this have any effect on your self-respect when you sit next to him like that and say nothing?"

Rutte didn't answer the question.

Russia’s nuclear strategy in Ukraine isn’t deterrence – it’s terror

Carney: "Burdens are shifting away from the United States towards Canada, towards Europe. You see a big increase in our defence spending."

Carney: "Russia is a direct adversary."

We also discussed energy preparations for the winter and our joint end goal: a free, sovereign Ukraine inside the EU. We will get there, step by step and cluster by cluster.

Touchbase with President Zelenskyy at the NATO Summit. We are committed to helping protect the skies of Ukraine. More support is on the way for air defence and missile interception.

Strengthening Europe's defence industry. And delivering greater security, better jobs and stronger growth for Europeans.

In a more dangerous world, the EU–NATO partnership is more important than ever. European states are investing heavily in their defence. Building stronger, combat-ready, interoperable forces.

Here’s the problem: we can no longer believe the government when it makes these kinds of statements after its agents kill someone. That’s a very dangerous place for a democracy to be. Read the full analysis here: open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

ICE may have moved off the front page, but another man is dead after an encounter with agents, and the administration is still defending detention without bond. This is why we keep watching, even when the headlines move on. Read today’s Civil Discourse: joycevance.substack.com/p/ice-still-...

WOW -- Danish reporter *goes there* with Rutte "You sit next to Trump when he talks about conquering Greenland, lashes out at allies like Spain -- things it doesn't seem like the old Mark Rutte would approve of. Does this have any affect on your self-respect when you sit there and say nothing?"

Are they going to North Korea to hunt Communists, because that's the only real Soviet State left in the World, not even Cuba or Venezuela come close to former Soviet Union, they're just very poor living in Socialist Countries starved by America. They're not even a threat.

It's so lame when Republicans are still obsessed by Communists. China is an Authoritarian Capitalist Market Economy. Russia is an Authoritarian Capitalist Market Economy. The US is an Authoritarian Capitalist Market Economy. Where are the Communists? It's all the same.

Trump is back to threatening Greenland because Denmark can't defend it, he's probably not even aware of the ongoing 2 year Arctic Endurance exercise involving many European countries in Greenland and said he might pull all US troops from Europe, it was all blackmail and grievances in Ankara.
