Trump is ready to grab Greenland. The EU should move first – and offer it membership | Robert Habeck and Andreas Raspotnik
The US president’s threats to the territory show Europe needs a new strategy for its far north: one based on cooperation, not domination, say Robert Habeck, former German vice-chancellor, and Andreas Raspotnik of Nord University

Pulling up the drawbridge to one's castle is a long and ignoble English tradition. Zahawi's behaviour is proof that he has fully assimilatiled.
Nadim Zahawi arrived in the UK from Iraq as a child refugee. His family claimed asylum once they were here. Today he has joined Reform who will stop all in country asylum applications. Under his new party, his own family fleeing persecution would be immediately deported.

Note to the entire world: Stop trying to manage Trump. Stop trying to work with him. He betrays everyone. Always. He is irrational. Erratic. The only way to stop his damage is to stop him, contain him, isolate him, reject him, stand up to him. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

This Christian leader's message is frightening, and shows that faith is nothing without the will to live it.
“I have asked the clergy of the diocese to make sure their affairs are in order and they have written their wills.,not the time for statements. It is time to put our bodies between the powers of this world and the most vulnerable”. Rob Hirschfeld, Bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of New Hampshire

I know the highest law, since the beginning of the cosmos: “Love the Lord your God and love your neighbor as yourself.”
"We live in a world, in the real world … that is governed by strength, that is governed by force, that is governed by power. These are the iron laws of the world since the beginning of time."
And with these words, Stephen Miller damns his soul to hell for all eternity.
