Trump’s record of reversals, hostility to institutional constraints and indifference to sacrifice convinces adversaries and allies alike that U.S. commitments will not hold. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/commentary/2026/02/09/world/trump-kills-american-deterrence/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #commentary #worldnews #donaldtrump #usdefense #tariffs #ukraine #china #indopacific #taiwan #elbridgecolby #cia #xijinping #nato #afghanistan #denmark #greenland #vladimirputin #russia

Canada has opened its first diplomatic outpost in Greenland in a show of solidarity with the territory. @cbcnews explains who was there for the ceremony in Greenland's capital Nuuk, including a delegation of 60 Canadian Inuit. "We feel deeply connected with the Inuit of Canada,” Greenland's Minister of Business Naaja Nathanielsen said. "For us, this is more than just about collaboration on a more diplomatic level, it's also about kinship.”

Greenland experienced its warmest January on record this year, as a rate of warming four times faster than the global average redraws the outlook for sectors from fishing to mining. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/environment/2026/02/05/climate-change/greenland-shatters-temperature-record/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #environment #climatechange #greenland #climatechange #oceans #us #denmark

Vättarnas Armé/Army of the Vættir (2025)
I caught a glimpse of these guys shortly after hearing about the Greenland stuff for the first time back in January 2025. I thought they were vättar (Icelandic: vættir), but people informed that vättar are actually usually smaller. I asked around and someone told me that these might be nissar. Anyway, beings (väsen) of this nature rarely show themselves at all, so I was quite shocked.

The U.S. president is animated less by the prospect of deal-making than by the need for domination, less by the spirit of exchange than by the perverse pleasure of exalting himself. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/commentary/2026/02/03/world/appeasing-trump-only-invites-betrayal/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #commentary #worldnews #us #donaldtrump #greenland #europe #nato #denmark #usdenmarkrelations #defense #trade
U.S. President Donald Trump’s vows to take over Greenland have chilled relationships between American and Greenlandic researchers, halting some projects and making future collaborations uncertain. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/environment/2026/02/02/climate-change/trump-greenland-climate-change/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #environment #climatechange #us #donaldtrump #republicans #greenland #denmark #climatechange #environment
After a whirlwind few weeks, the brother-and-sister biathlon team of Sondre and Ukaleq Slettemark have put politics aside to focus on making Greenland proud at the Milano Cortina Olympics. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/sports/2026/02/01/more-sports/greenland-siblings-olympics-pride/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #moresports #sondreslettemark #ukaleqslettemark #greenland #donaldtrump #2026milanocortinaolympics #denmark
Earlier this week, the fourth most downloaded app in Denmark was "UdenUSA" (Danish for "Without USA") — an app for scanning your groceries to make sure they are from the US.
Is that what Trump means when he calls the US "the hottest country"? And was this what Tim Cook was hoping for when he began supporting The Mad King?
The app is currently ranked number 16 in the Utilities category.
@randahl I trust you saw this amazing clip from Adnan Al-Adhami
For the Inuit people of Greenland, who have lived there for centuries, no one owns the Arctic land. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2026/01/30/world/society/greenland-inuit-identity/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #worldnews #society #greenland #indigenouspeople #denmark #us #donaldtrump

for 27 months they called us liars, they called us #Hamas supporters, they called us antisemites, they called us terrorists and other things because we shared the horrifying numbers of deaths in #Gaza.
Quietly, while the world is busy with #Epstein, #Greenland, War on #Iran and other distractions, they accepted the reports of the casualties of the Israeli #genocide in Gaza.
But, the western media don't seem to care much about it.

Japan’s fading global profile highlights a deeper diplomatic decline and raises questions about whether Takaichi or Japan’s next leader can restore influence in a shifting world. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/commentary/2026/01/30/japan/japans-diminishing-relevance/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #commentary #japan #worldeconomicforum #davos #markcarney #canada #southkorea #us #donaldtrump #xijinping #g7 #canada #shigeruishiba #ukraine #sanaetakaichi #shinzoabe #russia #china #iran #northkorea #ukraine #greenland #asean

I also have been thinking about this connection, it is so damn obvious, but no one in the media is talking about it.
The rise of authoritarianism, and the deep connection to the oil industry.
It has been obvious to anyone willing to stop for a moment and think... but #TheAmericanFascist, in his infinite wisdom and/or senility, has thrown down the veil.
#Venezuela is about access to #Oil in South America.
#Greenland is about access to Oil and Minerals in the #Arctic.
#Alberta Separatism is about access to Oil and Gas in #Canada.
Deposing the Iranian Regime is access to Oil and Gas in the Middle East. (Get #Iran, and you might get #Iraq too)
And lets not forget #Russia... fighting the #RussiaUkraineWar funded by their oil reserves and all about returning to an old empire in oil-rich Central Asia and Eastern Europe.
So is the fight to end fossil fuel use in order to preserve a liveable, recognizable planet, also a fight against authoritarianism and fascism?
You're damn right it is.
