Es acojonante cómo éste patán está repitiendo punto por punto la misma fórmula que empleó durante la DANA con Mazón. Deben de tener un jodido manual sobre “control del relato” en Génova 13 y no varían ni una coma independientemente del problema que haya que abordar.

I'm reminded of those ones that Theresa May had to go to but when the agenda turned to the Brexit negotiations she had to go and eat dinner separately, like being exiled to the kid's table at a wedding.
Now confirmed: the extraordinary summit of EU leaders to address the Greenland crisis will take place in Brussels on Thursday, 22 January.
It will start, quite unusually, at 19.00 CET.

Not the sort of letter committed to paper by a well man. "Considering your Country decided not to give me the Nobel Peace Prize for having stopped 8 Wars PLUS, I no longer feel an obligation to think purely of Peace"

What Europe and Canada need to do, months later than they should have done, is decide how to deal with a US that's an adversary not an ally, that has a predatory approach to them, and that can't be negotiated with in good faith. It's encouraging that France, at least, seems to understand this.

1/ Something which I don't think gets articulated clearly often enough is that a system where countries generally respect international sovereignty and territorial integrity is not pure charity or morality by the United States, but in its direct interests.

Trump's latest tantrum is a sign he knows he can't actually invade Greenland - as he doesn't have support from the Senate or the military.
Obviously Europe can't trade Greenland away so they'll have to try and mollify him some other way or take the hit.

BREAKING Kemi Badenoch has sacked Robert Jenrick from the shadow cabinet, removed the whip and suspended his party membership.

It amazes me that so-called "serious folk" in the US are failing to realise that the next two generations of European policymakers are going to be incredibly more inclined towards anti-Americanism than any generation since the interwar era.

The full list of World Cup qualifying nations swept up in the US visa ban - Iran, Uzbekistan, Jordan, Algeria, Cape Verde, Egypt, Ghana, Morocco, Senegal, Cote d'Ivoire, Tunisia, Haiti, Brazil, Colombia & Uruguay.
15 out of 42.
+ Bosnia, Albania & Kosovo, who are still in the UEFA play-offs.
