Former Deputy Supreme Allied Commander of Nato in Europe, General Sir Richard Shirreff (& author of the novel ‚War with Russia’) in an op-ed in the 🇬🇧Mail yesterday:
“My message to European leaders is this: America is no longer our ally but a predator and a bully. Stick together and prepare for war.“

GENERAL SIR RICHARD SHIRREFF: US is no longer our ally but a predator

The Pentagon just put soldiers from the 11th Airborne Division on prepare-to-deploy orders amid rising tensions in Greenland and Minnesota — where protests have erupted after a federal immigration enforcement operation and a fatal shooting.

(The Atlantic: free) THIS IS A MUST-READ. Tom Nichols has written an emotional and significant article about what OUR military will be asked to do if Trump orders them to invade and attack Greenland. Horrible, disgusting, wrenching, impossible to understand.

The Military Is Being Forced to Plan for an Unthinkable Betrayal
Attacking an ally would be a perversion of everything the armed forces have been trained to do.

Compare & contrast. This is Trump’s demand for Greenland. And this is Hitler’s for the Sudetenland.
There is no difference. The language. The unstoppable need to dominate. The megalomania. It’s the same.
And Keir Starmer’s response is appeasement. We are in that moment.

I know it's really hard to write and create right now, when the world is on fire and everything feels so precariously and dangerously balanced, but please keep creating. Your art is what is connecting people, giving a voice to those who might not be safe to speak, and giving people hope. Keep going.
