The day I joined bluesky is the day we have a blue sky and sun in Denmark! Coincidence? Or something larger at play? 🤔 Whatever it is thank you bluesky!
We are in for a wild ride the next 4 years.... we are only halfway through January and I need a vacation.

Time to give @bluesky props. As I write this, there are 560 quotes and replies to the post below.
Of those only 4 call me names and give me shit. About 15 do the same towards Trump.
The remaining 541 are on topic and add value.
👏👏👏👏👏

It’s a battle of political leverage. Who can use tariffs, retaliatory tariffs or sanctions to create more political pain for the other leader. Forcing them to capitulate or face undesired consequences.
How crazy would it be if China, Mexico and/or Canada initiated tariffs before Trump took office

From your standpoint as a businessman and manufacturer, is there any sense behind this? Especially now that other countries are threatening tariffs of their own in retaliation. But that doesn't make sense cause it would mean raising their own taxes.

Notice how Ukraine once again struck deep into Russia with ATACMS and we aren’t all currently glowing in the dark?

I've just translated Dmitry Glukhovsky's powerful post on Russia's moral catastrophe. It's too good to leave to Google Translate. Read it for a rare perspective on how Russians should talk to themselves. 1/x

I'm sure I will lose this status very quickly, but at least I will be able to say that I once had the biggest Danish account on Bluesky.
The two most followed Danish accounts on Bluesky are @anderspuck.bsky.social and me.
Looks like a large amount of the people interested in Ukraine etc. have taken the jump over here.

We’ve now reached the historical moment when Denmark is unquestionably tougher and more realistic in international affairs than any leader of the Republican Party.

Next time anybody tells you Crimea voted to be with Russia, listen to Girkin!
That’s how Russian voting works, at gunpoint
They never voted until after they rounded up everybody at gunpoint!

Bluesky tip for newbies: Bluesky has no real algorithm. Likes here do nothing but show the poster that you enjoyed their content.
That kindness is always going to be appreciated by creators, but if you want to help to boost something here, you have to repost it so others see it. 🙂

Ovre på Reddits meget USA-centriske militær-subreddit (r/military) er de ved at lave en liste med troværdige ikke-amerikanske nyhedssites om forsvar og sikkerhed. OLFI er første (og indtil videre eneste) danske. Ret cool, synes jeg.

The narrative about the war in Ukraine is completely off the rails
I don’t understand how anyone sees Ukraine as the one perpetuating the violence
Russia is literally the only one country to responsible for this war. They started it and have continued waging it for 999 days.

I have been on Bluesky for less than a week and everything I post here now is getting more impressions and engagement than on Twitter.
Anybody who wants their content to actually be seen needs to stop exclusively posting to Twitter. It is a dead end site that only exists to serve Elon's agenda.

We can strike into russia, but only into the Kursk region, only on Wednesday, after the rain, and when pigs fly. When will this nonsense end?

Due to the lack of any real algorithm on Bluesky and the "Following" page being a simple reverse chronological list of posts by accounts you follow, it is important to repost posts that you want to others to see, as engagement itself does not boost posts.
