"You can tell yourself what Europe told itself in 1938: Just give him this one piece of land, and we’ll have peace for our time."
Trump Sounds a Lot Like You-Know-Who
He’s no Hitler. But his speech in Davos about Greenland eerily echoes 1938.

“Nu har han sagt at han ikke gør det, så nu kan alle slappe helt af” - synes det er en ret uforståelig konklusion på talen i Davos. Synes at erindre at en anden præsident i februar 2022 havde travlt med at understrege hvad han ikke ville gøre .. indtil han så gjorde det

Ingen tror længere på at hjælpen vil ankomme ved daggry på den femte dag, så måske var det nu den forsvarspolitiske udmelding om en genoprettelse af et ambitiøst mobiliseringsforsvar på 5-6 fuldt udrustede brigader, droner, luftforsvar, ubåde mm skulle leveres 🇩🇰🇬🇱🇫🇴🪖

Davos has apparently become a supermarket where international bullies can shop for sovereign countries

Det bedste tidspunkt at placere europæiske styrker i Grønland var i går. Det næstbedste tidspunkt er nu.
Som jeg også selv har argumenteret før, burde det de facto udelukke amerikansk magtanvendelse, så vi og grønlænderne i stedet kan fokusere på trinnene længere nede på eskalationsstigen.

If Trump cares so much about Arctic dominance, why is the U.S. closing the office in charge of Arctic security? www.theatlantic.com/national-sec...

A year ago, I went to Copenhagen to write about the political crisis sparked by Trump over Greenland. Danes told me that the US can already do whatever it wants on the island.
Their conclusion: Trump just wants the U.S. to look larger on a map

Så er det sidste chance, hvis en udmelding om genoprettelsen af et ambitiøst mobiliseringsforsvar skal nås i år.

Årets juleønske er en ambitiøs udmelding om en genoprettelse af mobiliseringsforsvaret. Intet vildt. Bare 4-5 fuldt udrustede lette og middeltunge brigader, inkl. luftværn, droner og artilleri. Og mobilisering frem til pensionsalderen 🎄

Russia has never been interested in a peace deal. Russia is only interested in the unconditional surrender of a sovereign neighbouring country that is primarily seen as a threat because they insist on being just that: sovereign

Ukraine har kæmpet deres forsvarskamp med mobiliserede soldater, der var ovre den første ungdom. Et helbredstjek af de danske krigsparate værnepligtige uddannet i årene 95-05 burde kunne bemande 2-3 lette eller middeltunge brigader i en mønstringsstyrke. Men ALT udstyr og ALLE våben mm skal købes
