It's not remotely silly.

⚡️ Putin invited to join Trump's new Gaza Peace Board, Kremlin claims. Moscow is currently studying the proposal, Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov told reporters, according to state news agency TASS.

The EU’s anti-coercion instrument is the bloc’s most powerful retaliatory tool. While it has never been used, the ACI was designed primarily as a deterrent, and if needed, to respond to deliberate coercive actions from third countries... www.bloomberg.com/news/article... archive.is/202601182332...

Europe watched the US re-elect a pro-Russian man who attempted a coup. We know now that their democracy is volatile. We cannot build our future on a partner that might turn into an enemy every four years. We have to stand on our own. The trust is broken

As we watch Trump destroy alliances with NATO, remember he was cultivated by Russia for this exact purpose. Russia played the long game. Trump is a traitor. m.youtube.com/watch?v=cLD6...

Nothing will happen until there is an utter castrophe, some major tragedy that is completely undeniable as the fault of the incompetence of the regime.

There are now a half dozen occasions in the last year in which NATO intelligence services have discovered that high classified intelligence reporting furnished to the Trump White House were furnished to the Kremlin within hours (I posted the story about this in Handelsblad).

Multi-layered “look what you made me do” lie. Because Norway didn’t give a him prize (it doesn’t decide winners) for ending wars (he didn’t end) the US won’t be peaceful anymore (bombing multiple countries) and will take Greenland (part of Denmark, not Norway) to stop Russia (it’d help Russia).

Some call this “insane” and “mad,” but threatening to attack Greenland is consistent with envy of Putin, opposition to democracy, influenced by tech oligarchs, and a rapey reaction where “no” makes him want to take it more. The guy cheered Russia attacking Ukraine in 2022 as “savvy” and “genius.”

Tonight on Kremlin TV: pundits rejoiced about Trump's approach to Greenland, which they surmised is "delivering a catastrophic blow to NATO" and is "truly tremendous for Russia." It's the successful culmination of a decade-long influence operation by Russian intelligence.

This is utterly deranged.

The entire Michael Cohen story as relayed by Lev Parnes to Ellie Leonard. substack.com/@redpencilsc...

Trump: "NATO has been telling Denmark, for 20 years, that “you have to get the Russian threat away from Greenland.” Unfortunately, Denmark has been unable to do anything about it. Now it is time, and it will be done!!! President Donald J. Trump"

Here is an update on the Michael Cohen and journalists confrontations over on substacks:

NBA game in London. Someone screams “Leave Greenland alone!” during US national anthem. The crowd reacts in support.

This email comes from Batch 8 of the Epstein Files released on 12/23. In it, it confirms that Michael Cohen had indeed heard information about Jeffrey Epstein from Donald Trump. Cohen has maintained that he never heard Epstein's name in the time he worked for Donald Trump. #EpsteinFiles

Joint Statement by President von der Leyen and President Costa on Greenland ⬇️

"Hands off Greenland!" Thousands protested in Denmark's capital Copenhagen today against US President Trump's annexation threats.

Trump: "Starting Feb 1, all above mentioned Countries (Denmark, Norway, Sweden, France, Germany, UK, Netherlands, & Finland), will be charged a 10% Tariff. On June 1, it will be increased to 25%. It will be due until such time as a Deal is reached for the Complete and Total purchase of Greenland."

Sarah Kendzior, scholar of authoritarian states, predicted everything we are seeing now from the Trump administration. She was called an alarmist, a doomsayer. m.youtube.com/watch?v=7CaI...

Went live an hour ago to break this down. Why is Michael Cohen Crawling Back To Trump? (It Most Likely Has to Do With The Epstein Files) thelefthook.substack.com/p/why-is-mic...

ICYMI: In a late night filing, DOJ argues the federal courts cannot force them to comply with the law requiring release of all the Epstein files.

What we are seeing in Minnesota is what authoritarianism looks like in real time. Racism, dehumanization, and state-sanctioned violence are tearing at the foundation of this country.

This sounds insane, but given who we’re talking about, it tracks. @milestaylor.bsky.social says Stephen Miller told him that “if Trump won reelection, it would be a shock and awe blitz…and one of those things he would look to do is invoke the insurrection act.” Watch all of this!

French President Macron hints at the possible air defense system that Greenland may be provided: ''The SAMP/T next generation is a largely French and European system, the best in the world. It is more effective than the [US] Patriot system.''

The Nobel Prize museum in Oslo subtweeting the fuck out of Trump today.

Trump Threatens to Invoke the Insurrection Act and Says We Don't Need Elections. Trump threatens to use the Insurrection Act. What more do people need to see? This regime will not leave peacefully. It's time for the majority to resist at every level. thelefthook.substack.com/p/trump-thre...

"If we have to choose between the US and Denmark here and now, we choose Denmark. We choose NATO. We choose the Kingdom of Denmark. We choose the EU... Greenland does not want to be owned by the US. Greenland does not want to be governed by the US." Jens-Frederik Nielsen Prime Minister of Greenland

Walz: "What's happening in MN defies belief. News reports simply don't do justice to the level of chaos & disruption & trauma the federal govt is raining down... This long ago stopped being a matter of immigration enforcement. Instead, it's a campaign of organized brutality against the people of MN"

The United States needs to realize that the world does not need them. They are not necessary to the survival or the prosperity of the free world. We will move on without you.

Macron: At the request of Denmark, I have decided that France will participate in the joint exercises organized by Denmark in Greenland, Operation Arctic Endurance. The first French military elements are already on their way. Others will follow.

Europe Acts: France and Germany announce they will deploy troops to Greenland as part of a European security mission, following renewed threats by US President Donald Trump to take control of the Arctic island. The move, made at Denmark’s request. www.france24.com/en/europe/20...

.@PabloReports: What do you make of this union worker who called out Trump as pedophile protector? Raskin: I think that he was speaking in a factual sense

Wow.

“The Premier of Greenland said today, ‘We prefer to stay with Denmark’ - do you see that as the final word?” TRUMP: “I disagree with him. That’s their problem. I don't know who he is. I don’t know anything about him. That's gonna be a big problem for him.” Mobster president

AP: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth says that Elon Musk’s artificial intelligence chatbot Grok will join Google’s generative AI engine in operating inside the Pentagon network.

This level of surveillance will be happening throughout the entire country soon enough, likely in tandem with drones capable of facial recognition. Anyone critical of Trump will earn a one-way ticket to a foreign gulag. The “alarmists” continue to be proven right. www.reuters.com/technology/a...
