The EU, US & NATO are planning to sacrifice Ukraine to Russia.
Only the NORDIC-BALTIC EIGHT might be able to stop it.

My latest Substack article: Germany's complicity with Russia is worse than anyone imagined. Russia is engaging in a scorched earth campaign against Ukraine, and has no intention of negotiating an end to the war. The US has abandoned Ukraine, the EU & NATO.

When will this guy be stopped?
At a time when multiple federal departments run by Donald Trump have posted Nazi slogans or imagery or songs in the last week—with the total number of incidents being impossible to count just on one hand—Trump is now demanding lists of Jews from U.S. institutions.
Time to wake the fuck up, all.

Trump's obsession with Greenland didn't come out of nowhere. Instead, there are a whole range of American oligarchs and Trump donors who will gain immensely if the US seizes Greenland.
This is what the oligarchs taking over American foreign policy looks like.
