This is some Russian opposition poasting.

If Trump said he needs Greenland in order to stop the Chinese plot to sap and impurify all of our precious bodily fluids, I wouldn't be surprised at this point.

Folks trying to keep Atlanticism alive:

Labi.

My Greenland prediction: 1.) The U.S. won't attack. 2.) It won't attack because it was stopped. 3.) It being stopped will be used to tar people urgent about it being stopped as hysterics

Don’t believe the appeasers. This is the year that de-risking from the United States becomes existential for the EU. We’re not starting from zero: free trade agreements are in place (more coming); the anti-coercion instrument is available; rearmament has begun.

EU unlocking the anti-coercion instrument:

Further datapoints for how Europeans can no longer trust American elites whether or not Trump is in power

I've argued that the logic of Trump's international lawlessness, from the boat-strike murders to the Maduro kidnapping, could prove sticky even after Trump is gone, for the simple reason that self-imposed restraint is actually hard.

i think, however, this is a crystal clear example that the next cold war is actually democracy vs autocracy and the battle lines run right through every single advanced democracy. there aren't really any safe harbors.

whoa; surely just the first of many such admissions... #ai

Knut Hamsun (Literature Prize 1920): In 1943, the Norwegian author Knut Hamsun travelled to Germany and met with Propaganda Minister Joseph Goebbels. After returning to Norway, he sent his Nobel medal to Goebbels as a gesture of thanks for the meeting. Goebbels was honoured by the gift.

Helpful explainer from an ex-Bundeswehr officer

I may be wrong, but the fact that several of the most powerful European militaries are helping Denmark deterring the United States seems like a positive sign that Europe is holding together instead of falling apart

#BREAKING Denmark's foreign minister said after talks with US officials in Washington that US President Donald Trump has a clear wish of 'conquering' Greenland.

I know stories from folks in our national guard on how they had to account for every spent casing, and the whole platoon combing through a forest when someone forgot one.

B...but they fought Germans twice... What did they mean by this?

Piedur, kā vietējie trampisti sevi piesien tam enkuram. Trampa reitingi ir zem ūdens pat sfērās, kur republikāņi tradicionāli uzvar (imigrācija, ekonomika, law enforcement), plus vēl Eiropas antagonizēšana. Viņu mid-terms un mūsu Saeimas vēlēšanas ar mēneša starpību, starp citu.

In 1991, the night from Jan 12 to Jan 13, these innocent Lithuanian people were killed by the Soviet troops. Teenager fatally shot in the back, young woman who was about to marry that summer crushed by a tank, fathers, newlyweds. And the Nobel peace prize winner in Moscow.

The animating force at the heart of US conservatism currently is incandescent rage at the mere idea of women's autonomy and independence. An image of a smiling woman who looks insufficiently deferential for their tastes riles them up enough to tear up the social contract.

“I have asked the clergy of the diocese to make sure their affairs are in order and they have written their wills.,not the time for statements. It is time to put our bodies between the powers of this world and the most vulnerable”. Rob Hirschfeld, Bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of New Hampshire

Future historians are going to have make up all sorts of complicated and structural reasons to explain the collapse of NATO and the Arctic War of 2026 because the truth is just way too stupid to believe.

“A diplomatic source said: 'The generals think Trump's Greenland plan is crazy and illegal. So they are trying to deflect him with other major military operations. They say it's like dealing with a five-year-old'.” what the fuck have we tried turning the country off and back on again

Make Liberalism Genuinely Terrifying to Despots Again

It’s beyond insane that our overarching internal security agency has spent months tweeting barely-coded messages of support for neo-Nazi groups and the entire media apparatus looks at it and says “That’s odd but certainly not part a major story that is relevant to current events, I’m sure”

I just saw someone use the term "slopulism" and it's a very good word. My proposed definition: "Junk policy aimed at populism-inclined voters which will go nowhere and achieve nothing but which strategists believe will win support."

Sarunā netīšām galvā iztulkoju (un pateicu) Nobel Prize kā Nobela prezis un tagad gribu nomirt.

I think there's a conspiracy between opinion writers on who's gonna get the most stupidest take published by editors.

You can see a through-line from routinisation of Centcom GWOT counter-terror strikes under a loosely interpreted legal framework to clumsy attempts by Southcom to morally legitimise supposed counter-cartel strikes in the Carribean to potential normalisation of death squads in US domestic operations

In 2025, Lithuanian artists forced a culture minister’s resignation through nationwide protest and a shared musical performance. This echoed a Baltic tradition where song, art, and ritual defended freedom under occupation. ✍️Agnese Logina

I somehow hate and detest this mfer more than anyone in the admin, even though Miller & Trump are more guilty.
