Here are the 'highlights' of the videos shown at Fidesz Congress by Viktor Orbán from far-right allies across Europe and the globe supporting him in the election.
Note again how these stretch from ECR/Meloni over others from 'Patriots for Europe' to the AfD/ESN. Big one missing is Trump.

Also just like, to state the obvious, annexing Whereverstan doesn't lead to more votes for any party other than the Whereverstan Independence Party if they get to vote at all.

“The Europeans won’t fight back” is a wildly factually incorrect statement and shows an astonishing lack of understanding of 1) how the geopolitics of escalation works 2) how Europe works 3) how war works
France is a nuclear power and is deploying troops in Greenland, for God’s sake

If Trump invades Greenland, the Europeans won't fight back, Republicans will defend it, Democrats will issue statements, there will be protests, and most Americans will disapprove of it enough to earn Democrats a bit more of the vote in November. Then on to the next thing.
More than an attempted coup, where a mob tried to seize Congress on live television did? There's not going to be an implosion about anything. It's either a slow slide towards oblivion where everything gets incrementally worse as people try to live normally, or a slow grind in the opposite direction.

I think the disconnect between Atlantic elites is that Americans think Donald Trump is a kid getting to drive a monster truck for Make A Wish and Europeans and Canadians think Donald Trump is the president of the United States.

People are saying this is a shitpost and the thing is that shitposting about how you're ok with invading our ally because it would be good for politics is also not ok and contributes to a culture that might in fact react the way he's predicting re: Greenland

The best time for Etingermentum to grow up a bit was a year or two ago, the second best time is now.
Not at all surprised to see this between an irony-poisoned-but-still-earnest-Millennial-at-heart and the Zoomer.

what euphemism does the united states use if it orchestrates a violent takeover of greenland, a country already hosting its military forces? do we call it a special military operation? policing action? border enforcement?

We’re where we are in no smart part because members of the press regurgitate dumb pithy takes for likes because they are online all day and believe whatever trends must be true.

Fascinating confluence of Nothing Ever Happens brain with Only Americans Exist brain. Yes, an unprovoked attack on a NATO member will have some consequences beyond the percentage shares of Iowa Senate race
They are a deterrent force, but when push comes to shove, Europe is not going to enter a war with the United States over the possession of Greenland. As ever, the only meaningful restraints on Trump here are internal. bsky.app/profile/para...
Yeah which is why Europeans are moving tropps there as we speak. To not fight back. That's how military deployments work, you move troops to a place currently being threatened so you can offer them up as POWs, for fun.

Finding the reactions to this bleakly funny. Lads, the point isn’t that you are sending enough people to “win”, because we in fact, can’t win. It is just to have a tripwire! If you are going “why not 13, like Germany?” you have not understood how bad things are.

I am greatly encouraged that Lars Lokke Rasmussen - Denmark's foreign minister - looks like the sort of chap who could avert a schism in the international order.
