There is a lot of talk about higher defense spending in NATO, but I think many politicians have failed to explain adequately why that is necessary. So in this video I explain what is at stake for citizens in Western European countries.
Why spend more on defense in Western Europe?

Please everyone stop writing articles about "defense" or "economic" reasons to occupy Greenland, that's all irrelevant

This is spot on. X is not primarily a social media platform anymore. It's a power space for America's neo-royalty, and other governments are afraid of Trump's anger if they leave.

That's why "our government communications now happen on a deepfake porn site", and nobody does anything.

X Is a Power Problem, Not a Platform Problem

my analysis of current events

connectedplaces.online/reports/a-po...
The implicit theory behind the open social web was that platform quality would determine outcomes. Build something that’s better, and in combination with the incumbent getting worse, this would lead to such difference in quality, user experience and safety that at some point people would switch from X to alternatives like Mastodon or Bluesky. This theory held up for a while in 2023 and 2024. In 2025 it started to falter, as Musk aligned himself with Trump, the signup waves to the alternative platforms effectively stopped. In early 2026, this theory is now really over, because X has fundamentally changed. Mastodon and Bluesky are not in competition anymore with the platform X, because X has changed. It changed from being a platform to the power structure for the neo-royalty, with the public square shambling along as a zombie, animated by everyone who still treats X like it’s 2015. You cannot out-compete ‘where the ruling faction radicalizes and coordinates’ by having better moderation policies or algorithmic choice. X is not a platform problem anymore, it is a power problem, and building a different platform does not solve the power problem.

Again what European leader is calling Trump and pulling a Mark Carney???

Elbows out, Europe. Or else this really could get out of control. And it would mean the end of NATO. Time to escalate to deescalate.

Trump: "I'm a fan of Denmark too. They've been very nice to me. But the fact that they had a boat land there [Greenland] 500 years ago doesn't mean they own the land. I'm sure we had lots of boats go there also."

Saying this without judging religions or ideological beliefs as such, I find a dark amusement in watching millions who claim to be devout Christians and defenders of traditional family values cheer for the death of a woman, strip protections from the needy, separate families, and celebrate wars

Skræmmende perspektiv: "Læser man de grønlandske politikeres sociale medier (...), kan de næsten læses, som om den nuværende krise slet ikke har noget med Grønland at gøre. I stedet er det alene en mulighed for Grønland – frikoblet fra det geopolitiske spil" #dkpol www.berlingske.dk/internationa...

Vance: "My advice to European leaders is to take the U.S. president seriously, when he says about Greenland that…" and then he goes on to listing reasons and solutions that are totally different from what Trump is saying.

This is difficult to deal with.

Er der egentlig nogen statsledere, der har udtrykt forståelse for Donald Trumps ambition om at købe eller annektere Grønland? Ja, i Moskva er der i hvert fald en præsident, der håber, at USA tager Grønland, forklarer @anderspucknielsen.dk i @weekendavisen.dk

Footage suggests that Russia indeed launched an Oreshnik (RS-26 Rubezh) IRBM against Lviv, Ukraine. The inert entry vehicles come down and can cause damage by kinetic energy.

Except in one case, previous attempts to fire that missile ended in failures.

Agree. Just for context, the Danish subsidies to the Greenlandic society amount to about $12k per citizen per year.
smsaideman.bsky.social Steve Saideman @smsaideman.bsky.social · 2d
Pretty sure they are underestimating how much Greenlanders don't want to be Americans. Maybe if they got $1m per person. But $10k or $100k? Prepare to be disappointed, Donnie.
chrislhayes.bsky.social Chris Hayes @chrislhayes.bsky.social · 2d
Wait wait wait, while Americans have to pay hundreds of billions of dollars in new tariffs, Trump is going send over $10,000 to each person in *Greenland*?????????

This is a joke right ?

Trump wants to increase military spending by 50% - half a trillion dollars - through magic economics.
Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump After long and difficult negotiations with Senators, Congressmen, Secretaries, and other Political Representatives, I have determined that, for the Good of our Country, especially in these very troubled and dangerous times, our Military Budget for the year 2027 should not be $1 Trillion Dollars, but rather $1.5 Trillion Dollars. This will allow us to build the "Dream Military" that we have long been entitled to and, more importantly, that will keep us SAFE and SECURE, regardless of foe. If it weren't for the tremendous numbers being produced by Tariffs from other Countries, many of which, in the past, have "ripped off" the United States at levels never seen before, I would stay at the $1 Trillion Dollar number but, because of Tariffs, and the tremendous Income that they bring, amounts being generated, that would have been unthinkable in the past (especially just one year ago during the Sleepy Joe Biden Administration, the Worst President in the History of our Country!), we are able to easily hit the $1.5 Trillion Dollar number while, at the same time, producing an unparalleled Military Force, and having the ability to, at the same time, pay down Debt, and likewise, pay a substantial Dividend to moderate income Patriots within our Country!

After tough negotiations, 24 EU countries decide to borrow 90bn to keep Ukraine in the fight.

Meanwhile, same period and without many noticing, European farmers hold the EU to ransom and get 100 bn extra on top of already lavish funds.
