Any person that writes critical of Donald Trump or the US administration risks being detained at arrival, put in a cell with no means of communication and in "best" case sent back after a few weeks.

The Gestapo is running the show now.

Looking from the outside (Europe), I find it very strange that it is possible to walk around in the streets with a loaded gun.

But that said, this was clearly a murder commited by porly trained and vetted racists.

To celebrate the shootings, Tesla will be available in Blood Red.

Very satisfying!

I suggest that mr Oz embrace the concept of Diversity. To make it possible for people to work an extra year, workplaces has to accept different types of persons. Older, younger, men, women.

Perhaps Zelenskyj should bring Budanov with him. Budanov can scare off anyone.

Serfs are not supposed to moan.

Perhaps he actually was serious. Neither Greenland nor Iceland has an army. They relies on Nato for protection. Wait and see.

Perhaps they have also noticed that the US has set it's special arctic force on alert.

SERIOUS WARNING: The 11th Airborne Division alert for deployment to “Minnesota” is likely a feint … they were trained for terrain in Greenland.

Next in line are Iceland. Iceland doesn't have a military defence. Instead it relies on Nato.

And if Greenland is strategic, so is Iceland.

Rubio now has two options: save his reputation and resign or declare that he stand with Trump's demands.

I think the latter. Everyone in Trump's orbit will be morally destroyed.

I hope a lot!

I don't think all of this would happen, it is bad enough if parts of it are realized. For example, a lot of Europeean airlines are flying Boeing, RyanAir is one of them.

One thing that will happen is a stop if buying F35 airplanes and other US military stuff.

Intelligence sharing will also sieze.

Next up to follow that argument: "Iceland cannot be defended and must be a part of the USA". And Svalbard. And Cap Verde. And the Azores. And...

Time to put taxes on US internet companies that avoids taxes in the EU.
January 17, 2026 at 10:04 PM
Win-win!

To afford this, we have to sell all our US state bonds and limit the amount of dollars we hold in our reserves. And we won't buy any new bonds.
January 16, 2026 at 7:24 PM
Closing US bases in Europe also means no US military overflight across the European continent. Which means difficulties to reach the Mittle East.

Or overflight can be put into case-for-case decision where the US has to ask for permission every time.

There is a reason why you have allies.

Please Orbán, leave the EU. You will be so much better off without us.

As far as I understand, the exchange rate is mostly controlled by the Kremlin. There is not a lot of trade and there are certainly no investors that want to by bonds due to the high rate.

Most bonds are sold to Russian banks who has to buy them.

A bit back to the USSR.

Easy! Just print more money! What could go wrong?😄

Ruzzia is a shit country. This is normal and happens every winter.
