"The Kremlin says Vladimir Putin has been invited to join Donald Trump’s proposed 'board of peace' for overseeing a Gaza ceasefire—an unconfirmed move that raises questions about the board’s purpose and reinforces criticism that Trump is favourably disposed toward Russia despite Putin continuing the war in Ukraine."

"The Kremlin says Vladimir Putin has been invited to join Donald Trump’s proposed 'board of peace' for overseeing a Gaza ceasefire—an unconfirmed move that raises questions about the board’s purpose and reinforces criticism that Trump is favourably disposed toward Russia despite Putin continuing the war in Ukraine."
Trump wrote the Norwegian PM Jonas Gahr Støre to say,
"Considering your Country decided not to give me the Nobel Peace Prize for having stopped 8 Wars PLUS, I no longer feel an obligation to think purely of Peace, although it will always be predominant, but can now think about what is good and proper for the United States of America."
"In his letter to Støre, Trump said Denmark 'cannot protect' Greenland from Russia or China, adding: 'Why do they have a "right of ownership" anyway? There are no written documents, it’s only that a boat landed there hundreds of years ago.'”
~ Jon Henley
"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)."

James Fallows offers a primer on Trump and Greenland:
1) This crisis is all coming from someone’s gut. Not from anyone’s brain.
2) The US has nothing to gain by ‘owning’ Greenland. Zero.
3) No one wants us there. Zero.
4) Greenland is smaller than you think. But the distances and remoteness are larger.
5) The whole idea of taking over Greenland would appall the founders of our country.
"The US wants to take this over because… it’s 'psychologically important' to one mentally failing 79-year-old man?"
