Friends, I’d like to show @ucalgary.bsky.social that @bsky.app is where the cool kids hang out and that they should start posting here more and less/none at TheBadPlace™️. Show them some love by reskeeting this 100000000x. 🧪

Wind and hydropower together exceeded nuclear in Finland’s electricity palette last year, with solar also on the rise.

A man with his wits about him would have cancelled rather than front this epic failure of US power.

NATO did not "stay a little back, off the front lines." Danish, British and Estonian troops served in Helmand, and Canadian forces in Kandahar - the two most dangerous Afghan provinces. Denmark, UK, Estonia & Canada suffered amongst the highest per‑capita soldier death rates when defending the US.

Davosin jälkeen katse kääntyy seuraavaksi Brysseliin. Saadaanko tänään lisätietoja Trumpin ja Rutten Grönlanti-kuvioista sekä EU:n suhtautumisesta siihen? yle.fi/a/74-20205637

Syyrian vallanvaihto ja sen seuraukset ansaitsevat enemmän huomiota, myös Suomessa. Trump ja USA:n hallinto ovat täälläkin tärkeä peluri: yle.fi/a/74-20205554

Aha, ok. Now, can we talk about Ukraine being under attack, please?

Breaking news: Donald Trump has said that he will not impose tariffs on US trading partners on February 1 after he and Nato secretary-general Mark Rutte 'formed the framework of a future deal' for Greenland and the 'entire Arctic region' ft.trib.al/RKcF4D5

Today in "neither our media nor our political system is designed to deal with a far right authoritarian party"

AS IF TO PROVE HIS POINT President Trump’s response to Canadian PM Mark Carney’s declaration that the U.S.-led, rules-based international order had come to an end: “Canada lives because of the United States. Remember that, Mark, the next time you make your statements” wapo.st/49ziIZm

When you can't even remember the name of the country you want to invade, maybe it's time to sit down and shut up.

The high cost of Trump's insanity.

2/The Board of Peace is a plan of private enrichment for Trump and his family - one of many. If any three states will ratify it and one of them pays a billion dollars, the Charter will enter into force. But the US Senate will never in any composition give its consent by a majority of two thirds

Media may not have noticed that Trump’s Board of Peace Charter was drafted so that the US need NOT ratify and become a party.Trump’s current status as US President is a necesary stepping stone but his unitary rule in the new international organisation would be personal, permanent and even hereditary

Donald Trump leaves for Davos - again. A Boeing C-32A has been rebaptized as Air Force One after the original had to return to Andrews air base, reportedly due to an electrical malfunction.

Trump wants to annex Greenland to prevent it from being annexed by other members of the 'Board of Peace.'

Trumpilta jälleen uusi rimanalitus. Arvoton näytelmä. yle.fi/a/74-20205272

If Trump ordered an illegal invasion and annexation of Denmark's Greenland, he could face some opposition from serving commanders as well.

This is a very big deal. And Powell is a mensch. If democracy survives, he should get a presidential medal of freedom.

just couple hours ago. sinking feeling that the 2 airborne battalions activated in Alaska are not actually marked for Minnesota

So the Peace President will start a war because he didn't get the peace prize.

Assuming this is the letter (see post below), every European head that received it, should make it public, along with a reply. This is NOT anyone you can negotiate with. Guessing we’ll hear worse at Davos. This is not a negotiation tactic. Trump is serious - insane but serious.

LEGO ads have suddenly a darker tone… they convey carefully hidden Danish subliminal messaging…

Tästä lähtee viikko Davosissa Maailman talousfoorumissa. Ties mitä on edessä, kun Trump saapuu paikalle poikkeuksellisen suurella avustajajoukolla. Mukana Witkoff, Kushner, viisi ministeriä, joukossa mm. Rubio. Rankka mutta superkiinnostava viikko edessä, käsittelyssä maailman kohtalonkysymykset.

Russia celebrates. “The Transatlantic alliance is over.” Trump has done his master’s work.

We now have a full-blown European-American crisis, and for no reason that the president is able to articulate

The joint statement just published by European leaders reads like something they would say to Russia about Ukraine: "we stand ready to engage in a dialogue based on the principles of sovereignty and territorial integrity that we stand firmly behind." www.government.se/statements/2...

Tästä on helppo olla samaa mieltä: uudet tullit ovat Trumpin varoituslaukaus Suomelle. Vain vajaat kolme vuotta Nato-jäsenyyden jälkeen olemme yhtäkkiä Trumpin tähtäimessä, esteenä hänen valloituksilleen, toteaa Juri von Bonsdorff: yle.fi/a/74-20204942

Excellent thread by @maxbergmann.bsky.social . I think this is the crux: “why cave to keep a security commitment that is not real?”. The strategy of the EU (& even more the UK) has been to treat Trump as transactional: give him something eg on tariffs & get a security guarantee in return. 1/2

Katsokaa tätä retoriikan eroa Ruotsin ja Suomen pääministerien välillä.

EPP chair Manfred Weber says EP will not approve EU US tariff deal "The EPP is in favour of the EU–U.S. trade deal, but given Donald Trump’s threats regarding Greenland, approval is not possible at this stage. The 0% tariffs on U.S. products must be put on hold."

Danmark med allierade stärker säkerheten på Grönland, delvis på USAs begäran, och bjuder in USA på övning. Trump tar detta som ett hot och inför strafftullar på sina närmsta allierade. Moskva och Peking firar.

Territorial integrity and sovereignty are fundamental principles of international law. They are essential for Europe and for the international community as a whole.

Bernd Lange, the chair of the European Parliament's trade committee, calls on the European Commission to "immediately" start proceedings on the Anti-Coercion Instrument in response to Trump's latest tariff threat.

More than 200,000 Danish citizens have signed a petition to buy California as a response to Trump’s attempt to take Greenland. They say they will provide Californians with “rule of law, universal health care, fact-based politics, and a lifetime supply of Danish pastries.”

The hitherto toughest test to Nordic solidarity is beginning. Last time the Nordics failed to stick together, Norway and Denmark got occupied by nazi Germany and Finland invaded by the Soviet Union.

The whole MAGA discourse is that Europe is too feeble to stand up for itself. Then we send a few troops to Greenland and they throw a tantrum.

This really is beyond embarrassing, for both Machado and Trump.

Lasten ihonhoitobrändejä, kasvonaamioita ja somekampanjoita – kosmetiikan markkinointi lapsille on arkipäiväistynyt. Tein kirjallisen kysymyksen komissiolle, pitäisikö lapsille suunnattu kosmetiikkamainonta kieltää ja miten lasten kosmetiikan markkinointia ja myyntiä voitaisiin rajoittaa EU:ssa. 1/4

This may seem funny and can easily be dismissed as it's just Leavitt being Leavitt. The genuine problem is that in a global crisis where words matter and are a part of escalation management, no one can believe what the United States says, or trust what they hear from the WH.
