Brooke Rollins: "We've run over 1,000 simulations. It can cost around $3 a meal for a piece of chicken, a piece of broccoli, corn tortilla, and one other thing. So there is a way to do this that actually will save the average American consumer money."

My husband was on the 2 train and a guy started braying about how Renee Good deserved to die and her "lesbian lover" did too. My husband got pissed and said, "You're absolutely disgusting." "Fuck you!" the guy said. "Fuck YOU!" my husband said. The guy left.

See? We just need to talk to each other.

This. Greenland defense is a tripwireβ€”putting various European countries’ personnel in harms way in an attempt to deter attackβ€”not an effort to win a war with the US.

A real Europe-US war would destroy the world. The goal is to not have one. Which was more than accomplished by a robust NATO. Alas.
Finding the reactions to this bleakly funny. Lads, the point isn’t that you are sending enough people to β€œwin”, because we in fact, can’t win. It is just to have a tripwire! If you are going β€œwhy not 13, like Germany?” you have not understood how bad things are.

I do feel like β€œfrom where is Greenland threatened” is a question US boosters of Trump’s ludicrous plan should have to answer. They’re defying geography, strategy and sanity to go along with his whim, here.

It’s just so far off the radar we don’t have words for it.
Aside from the fascism & should-end-a-presidency shameful nonsense of threatening our NATO allies (bsky.app/profile/mcop...), this is an unimaginably stupid & wasteful allocation of resources while Vladimir Putin is occupying 20% of Ukraine & NATO does not have enough troops on its eastern flank.
Denmark confirms an expanded, more permanent Danish and NATO military presence in and around Greenland, beginning today. Deployments span land, sea, and air, including protection of critical infrastructure, fighter jets, and naval operations. Sweden has committed forces; other NATO allies may follow
