Malcolm is being a bit dramatic here, but *all* of this is, in theory, on the table.
And Trump notoriously never considers second and third order effects.

Notice the weasel words here. It doesn’t mean we don’t have planning staff in Nu’uk looking at ARCTIC ENDEAVOUR- like everyone else.

Lisa’s delicious chaser to the Royal Canadian Legion drama of a few days ago. I like to delude myself into thinking I played a small part in smacking the separatists around. LOL

I think it’s time for a summary.
Denmark is preparing to host an *exercise* in Greenland. The timing of that exercise is certainly aimed at sending a message.
What is happening now is that the various planning staffs are deploying. This means very small numbers from allies that will participate.

This was easily one of the kindest, most heartwarming accounts here. She was forced to leave Xitter and now BlueSky appears to have done nothing to help her. All she did was post photos of cats from the past.
For me, a terrible loss (I do follow elsewhere).

I deleted my previous posts about my harasser to protect the sanctuary, but I will not be using this bluesky account anymore if someone can threaten me here, via email, and on the phone without consequences. Bye for now.

it's funny how anyone with a linear concept of time is aware Trump started demanding Greenland first and then backfilled the 'uhh... to protect from Russia!' thing later but it's considered unacceptable for neutral media to mention this

A barely altered play on "Which Way Western Man?" a foundational white nationalist text arguing Jews, racial mixing & equality are destroying society. DHS prev tweeted in August. It required no interpretation, but the media's role was to pretend it was a Rorschach test and help surface WH denials.

The hubris here is overwhelming. I thought I saw it when I was serving, but that was nothing compared to now.

I keep saying: this is a real FAFO situation. Anyone who has served alongside the Danes will attest to their toughness, resourcefulness, and willingness to “go kinetic” at the drop of a hat.

They’re continuing to treat Trump and his “concerns” as rational and as something he’s willing to discuss. They are nothing of the sort.

This exercise is growing by the minute (Bild is a good source). Danes, NorwegIans, Dutch, French, and now - probably - Germans.

They were obviously so in agreement with Vance and his little Fascist delegation that talks could end early!
Oh.
Oh.
Danish Foreign Minister Lars Løkke Rasmussen and his Greenlandic counterpart Vivian Motzfeldt left White House talks early after talks with US Secretary of State Rubio and Vice President Vance over Trump's threats to invade Greenland.

Brace yourself: the US delegation meeting with Denmark and Greenland today is almost uniformly hostile and serves not the US people but our techbros. JD Vance's longtime aide Andy Baker is so pro-Putin he says Ukraine provoked Russia into invading, and that the US should cut aid. 1/

Why the hell are Denmark and Greenland even entertaining Vance?
We’re doing this all the time: involving or placating the US simply because it’s the US. Tell them to fuck off.
