Why spend more on defense in Western Europe?
YouTube video by Anders Puck Nielsen
youtu.be
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.

"Battle Hymn of the Republic" is not a song to be taken on lightly ... but in light of this New Year Trumpian news onslaught, we're sharing this adaptation, called "Battle Hymn of the Empire" - as Trump goes marching on, and dragging us all back to the nineteenth century.

Krigens Logik af @anderspucknielsen.dk og den får min varmeste anbefaling med på vejen. De første kapitler var relativt kendt stof for mig, men utroligt godt formidlet og da vi nåede til kapitlerne om hybridkrig og fremtidens teknologi blev jeg også meget klogere. Glæder mig til Krigens Politik.

I would really recommend this talk between @carlomasala1.bsky.social and @anderspucknielsen.dk. I would argue Europe and Russia does not have any mutual interests (besides avoiding nuclear war) and this is one of the fundamental mistakes in European thinking when it comes to how to deal with Russia.
In this video, I have a conversation with @carlomasala1.bsky.social about the risk of war with Russia, the future of Nato, and the challenges to European security.

"Under the 'Compromise Scenario', Denmark would agree to give Trump full military access to Greenland and deny access to Russia and China."
This is the status quo. We've had it since before Trump was born. It's the most open-ended "put whatever you want here" deal we have for any foreign territory.

Who knows, of course, but it feels like what happens over the next few weeks will define the rest of our lives.

Trump 'orders US army chiefs to draw up plan to invade Greenland'
Donald Trump has ordered his special forces commanders to draw up a plan for the invasion of Greenland - but is being resisted by senior military figures, The Mail on Sunday has learned.

Near the end of the conversation, one now wonders how democracy will survive against internal and external aggression but also how democracy could leave itself unprepared to defend itself.

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.

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."
