Draft-dodging scum says what

Leaders will discuss “de-risking” from the U.S., the diplomat said — a term that has previously been reserved for the EU’s relationship with Beijing. “Trust is lost,” they said. Warm congratulations to Marco Rubio, John Thune, Lindsey Graham and all the boys in the Bergin Hunt & Fish Club.

Pet owners have become increasingly reluctant to give their dogs their required shots, with some even believing the vaccines can cause autism in their dogs. (This is TOTALLY wrong, by the way). Canine autism- that is not a recognized diagnosis in dogs.

May I remind everyone that there is currently NO cure for rabies. May I also remind everyone there is absolutely NO scientific proof connecting ANY vaccine that we produce today with autism. This is true regarding vaccination in both humans AND in dogs. Vaccinate your pets please.

This is a myth with long legs, popular among US forces in Afg at the time. There is some truth to it—the Germans, for instance, had very strict “national caveats”—but a lot more falsehood (see the UK, Canadians, Danes, etc. who fought in the south). Also, the ISAF contingent with the most…

A very tiny upside to Trump’s recent insanity

The BBC North America editor tells us that Trump doubts that NATO would respond if the US asked for help. She doesn't point out that the US is the only NATO member which has ever invoked Article 5, and that it got help. From Denmark and others. #R4Today

My Charlemagne column this week: REQUIEM The Atlantic alliance, storied as it might be, is increasingly unworthy of the name. It is dead, or dying. Europe is going through the five stages of grief: denial, anger, bargaining, depression -- and soon acceptance. www.economist.com/europe/2026/...

It was carried out in strict compliance with the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea. A judicial investigation has been opened. The vessel has been diverted.-French President Macron on X

This morning, the French Navy boarded an oil tanker coming from Russia, subject to international sanctions and suspected of flying a false flag. The operation was conducted on the high seas in the Mediterranean, with the support of several of our allies.

just like to emphasize again here that almost all Greenland mining is *extremely* theoretical, because the conditions are so bad that prices would have to be sky-high or other reserves largely exhausted to make them viable.

So it was Badenoch *personally* who stabbed Britain in the back during the Greenland crisis! Simply unbelievable. Ought to be a resignation matter. www.theguardian.com/world/2026/j...

At war's start, Smallbones was evacuated back to Britain along with all other diplomatic staff and their families. By this point he had made the Nazi list of people to be rounded up, if Britain was invaded. He enquired how many people had gotten visas through his scheme. 48,000 Jews. /20

The caveats were inserted to avoid it spooking parliament or the German authorities. The idea was to create a system that wasn't possible to do at scale. But that underestimated the drive of people like Robert Smallbones in Frankfurt, or Frank Foley in Berlin. /11

The next day, a message is flashed to all British Consulates in Germany: You can grant temporary visas to those on the US waiting list. BUT: 1) EVERY exemption needs to be signed PERSONALLY by the relevant Consul. 2) We're not ordering you to. Just highlighting it's okay, if you're asked. /10

Smallbones proposes that the Home Office allow Jews who have a valid US visa to "wait" in Britain until their turn in the US arrivals queue comes up. Essentially, a TEMPORARY visa for Britain, that expires when they get to America. The Home Secretary, Viscount Hoare agrees in principle. /8

Unwilling to accept defeat, Smallbones hunts for a solution. He realises the USA is sneakier about how it blocks Jews from immigrating. It gives them visas, but then only lets a certain percentage a year use them. He thinks about how to 'hack' this, and comes up with a British-based workaround. /7

Smallbones was horrified. In Germany he witnessed increasing state violence against Jews. He wrote constant warnings to the Foreign Office. The Nazis officially complained, after Smallbones daughter horse-whipped a Gestapo officer to try and stop the abduction of a Jewish man on the street. /3

Rutte: -slaps top of existing arrangement relating to US presence in Greenland- "This bad boy can fit so many US military bases and whatever the fuck Golden Dome is in it!" Trump: "I'll take it! Art of the deal, baby!"

today.

Hello. I would like to remind everyone, but especially Adrian Vermeule, that England beat France to legislative regicide and the genocide of an observant Catholic peasantry by about 150 years, and yet noone talks about this except in Ireland.

Nobel Peace Prize laureate Oleksandra Matviichuk: "I have come from #Kyiv. It's minus 17°C there. We are literally freezing. We are literally freezing in our houses without water, heating, electricity, and sometimes even internet connection. It's not easy, frankly speaking."

Missed this under all the news today - while there are still question marks on the EU-India trade agreement, the security and defence partnership seems ready:

I cannot tell you how absolutely infuriatingly this stuff comes across to Europeans. When we say America is no longer a reliable ally, it goes considerably deeper than Donald Trump himself. This kind of complacent, condescending shit is a *huge* part of it.

Tell that to the 1,000 plus non-US NATO soldiers who died when the US invoked Article 5 after 9/11.

Trump just told Davos: "after the war we gave Greenland back to Denmark." America never had Greenland. It was governed — and defended — by the Danes and Greenlanders throughout WWII. www.bugeyedandshameless.com/p/read-the-d...

No one can be watching this Davos speech and reach any conclusion but that the President of the United States is mentally disturbed and that something is deeply wrong with him. This is both embarrassing and extremely dangerous.

The failure of Venezuelan air defense proves the US needs to have Greenland.

Hey, we're getting to Greenland. "I was going to leave it out of the speech..." Apparently Greenland is going to be American because they defended it from the Nazis in World War II, which is bad news for Paris I guess.

Omg. I take it back. This is amazing. He just told a story about how someone offered to de-mothball World War II era US battleships but he wouldn't let them because the ones he wants to build are 100x more powerful. Incredible scenes. Pure cinema.

what do you MEAN Al Gore heckled Lutnick at Davos

Eloquently articulates damage US is doing to world order. Refuses to elaborate further. Leaves.

PM #MarkCarney is in the air flying back home. There will be no meetings with #Trump at #Davos at the #WEF. Probably pre-planned after his epic speech that resulted in a rare standing ovation. 🪶🇨🇦🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

Only a minor thing, but don't be morons and reproduce false PR by one of your fellows to assist him in lying about his activities.

"The Boring Company is combining fast, affordable tunneling technology with an all-electric public transportation system in order to alleviate soul-crushing urban congestion and enable high-speed long distance travel." No.

"SpaceX is pursuing the long-term goal of making humans a multi-planet species." No, it is not.

There’s a very similar response from @todmaffin.com a few months ago. It’s your country whether you agree with it or not. So take it and if you don’t like it, it’s up to you to do something about it. Every country gets one voice. youtube.com/shorts/A2P-8...

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

@rafaelbehr.bsky.social: ‘If Europeans are right about the values they want the #US to uphold, it follows that the country also needs regime change. If they have history on their side, the current president must fail, and he knows it.’ 1/ [ #Trump #Europe]

the western alliance was born in the fires of the most catastrophic conflict in the history of the world. republicans are spitting on the graves of the dead. these men and women are human filth.

So far the "Board of Peace" is Trump, Orban, Lukaschenko and Netanyahu. Which if you wrote in a satire would be considered too outlandish and sent back.

Netherlands should join and offer to host the first meeting at the exclusive, famous, gilded and very luxurious palace called "The Hague".
