“In 2025, the US attempted […] to collect knowledge about infrastructure, including critical military infrastructure, in Greenland, and thus potentially information that could be important in planning an American attack on or invasion”

USA søgte i fortrolighed viden om militære installationer i Grønland

Hidtil ukendte dokumenter fra dansk forsvar viser, at Forsvarsministeriet og den øverste danske militære ledelse var bekymret over, at USA – uformelt og uden at involvere København – forsøgte at få danske kolleger i Grønland til at udlevere information om militære installationer, havne og flybaser i Grønland. Ministeriet blev – af hensyn til det »strategiske klima« i forhold til Grønland – straks orienteret. Det samme gjorde dansk forsvars samlede topledelse, herunder forsvarschefen. Ekspert siger, at vi må forvente amerikansk spionage mod Danmark.

🇫🇷 ❤️ 🇬🇱 The French military published some images of its Extreme Cold training exercises that took place last month in the Alps with the caption “Besoin de renforts?", an explicit call that they are ready to help boost Greenland's defenses.

This follows the operational readiness training from the French Air Force in Canada and Greenland last year to improve polar capabilities.

I'm sure Greenlandic Inuit are looking at how ICE is treating native Americans and are like "sure, let's welcome those here so they can arrest us and threaten to deport us from our own land”

@fj If USA wants Greenland, it will take #Greenland and there is realistically nothing #Denmark can do to stop it. Any military defense would be crushed and a guaranteed loss for Denmark

Negotiations are theatre designed to make the EU look weak. This should be a wake up call to #eu how weak and deindustrialized the US has forced EU countries to become. The only thing Denmark can do is grovel, which is the theatre Trump wants, but that's not negotiations and it shouldn't do that

I assume an invasion to capture territory by military force is an act of war. Would that require the tearing up of the NATO treaty?

Would both require the approval of Congress?

I can't see how the administration could construct a Venezuela type excuse to get around the 'none-war' justication.

So it is not Constitutional. So what? could be the difficult answer. Even if SCOTUS rules against who is going to enforce it?

#Trump is making NATO weaker to make America weaker, and make Russia and China stronger.

Most Americans are not opposing what Trump is doing.

The New World Order:

US gets the Americas including Venezuelan oil, Canada and Greenland
China gets Taiwan
Russia gets ex-URSS states

Each closes the eyes on the invasions of the others. This is a marriage of convenience against International Law and Sovereignty.

🇪🇺 The big unknown is whether the EU is going to federate or fall divided, becoming vassal states from one of these poles.

Time to stand up 💪

@fj Me too.

Realistically we have a whole reindustrialization catching-up ahead of us, that most of European population still does not understand, that will be actively interfered with, and led by people who have little to no idea how production works in principle, but on the plus side for now the rule of law prevails here, which tends to attract both people who are into making great tech and to allow them to build production businesses.

Just the whole path-to-market remaining to figure out.

Trump picked a war that should be impossible to lose. He targeted a hated, undemocratic, and unpopular leader for a seemingly easy victory. But if there is anyone who can snatch defeat from the jaws of victory, it's this U.S. government.

1. They did not kill Maduro. They intend to bring charges against him in a U.S. court. This move could backfire spectacularly with all the lawbreaking.

2. Trump says U.S. officials such as Rubio, Hegseth, and Caine will 'run' Venezuela. There is no better way to unite country than the sight of foreigners looting and incompetently running it.

3. This will embolden every nearby Marxist guerrilla group. All they will need is quiet financial/weapons support from foreign adversaries. "Lose every battle, win the war" seems to work against America.

@fj These three are all #UNSC permanent members. When these do come to pass, the rest of the #world can, and should, declare the abolishment of UNSC as it stands - it's meaningless and utterly self-serving for its members only.
