Even the so-called distractions now have distractions. You might want to consider that these are not distractions. At all.

back to work

The wisdom of Mr. Rogers is eternal:

Dave Troy... ''I regret to inform that this is all very simple, and dumb: since 2017, Putin has been trying to goad Trump into seizing Venezuela and Greenland. Putin thinks this will cement the “Monroe Doctrine” as US policy, which he thinks will drive US disengagement from Ukraine.''

“Greenland is not for sale.” With calm clarity, Greenland’s Prime Minister Jens-Frederik Nielsen responds to the renewed threats and insinuations coming from Donald Trump and his administration.

#Greenland Prime Minister Jens-Frederik Nielsen has criticised President Trump's latest comments, saying, "When the President of the United States says ‍that 'we need Greenland' and links us to Venezuela and military intervention, it's not just wrong. It's disrespectful." news.sky.com/story/denmar...

Gas down, Oil down.. now that's signal.

Laurie Macfarlane earlier.. ''Venezuela isn't just about oil. It's the opening gambit in Trump's plan to untangle the US economy from China ahead of a future confrontation.'' (etc,.)

The time for trust in any tech from the US is over. Just like it was decades ago. Old news travels fast.

The weak response from Can, EU and UN to Trump's flagrant crimes in Venezuela is striking. It exposes that much of the world has been cowed. Most notable exception: the Latin American left. That is why the Trump Admin has gone to enormous lengths to defeat the left across the continent. 1/3

Oil, gold and rare earth elements: the backdrop to US political tension with Venezuela english.elpais.com/internationa...

EU citizens - especially those in Greenland - deserve a clear answer to the question of how EU leaders would react to attempts of the US to annex Greenland. Will there be a clear political and economic response? Or is it also going to be a "complex situation" to be "closely monitored"?

2026 was a terrible year, and it has barely started.
