Wenn die AfD „Abschiebepolizei wie in den USA“ hier haben will, lohnt es sich zu fragen, warum diese Instanz in den USA als Gestapo bezeichnet wird.

All of the protagonists ruining life right now have like 47 children and are visibly insecure, miserable monsters desperately seeking and failing to fill a gaping void inside with power and cruelty toward others.

Maybe there's more to finding fulfilment than just spawning?

I guess policies based on fear, and enacted by cowards, can backfire spectacularly when it doesn't cross the minds of power that people can be brave.

Das heißt nicht, dass alles gut wird und die Situation nicht bedrohlich ist. Aber wer jetzt resignierend einknickt und sagt "Demokratien sind halt ein Auslaufmodell, wir müssen uns mit dem Zeitalter der autoritären Autokratien abfinden", hat einfach nicht recht. Das geben die Zahlen nicht her.

“Danish citizens are organising a huge boycott that includes cancelling planned holidays in the US, cancelling subscriptions to on-demand services based in the US & more generally, recommending the use of EU services instead of those provided by American platforms.”

So, same as Canadians.

Netherlands should join and offer to host the first meeting at the exclusive, famous, gilded and very luxurious palace called "The Hague".
So far the "Board of Peace" is Trump, Orban, Lukaschenko and Netanyahu.

Which if you wrote in a satire would be considered too outlandish and sent back.

Something's changed, as Pulp would say.

Even if Trump is chickening out and tensions ease over Greenland, something has changed. That change is encapsulated by the Carney speech - but (like an iceberg, aptly) it is wider and deeper than what can be readily seen.

Atlanticism is broken, NATO ripped.

I am old enough to remember Putin saying as late as 18 February 2022 - less than a week before the invasion - that Russia had no intention to use military force against Ukraine.
Trump ruling out the use of military force does not defuse this crisis

Europe & Denmark's red lines are territorial integrity & the right of self-determination for the people of Greenland. They do not want to join the US

I cannot tell you how absolutely infuriatingly this stuff comes across to Europeans.

When we say America is no longer a reliable ally, it goes considerably deeper than Donald Trump himself. This kind of complacent, condescending shit is a *huge* part of it.

In Trump's telling, the US are the equivalent of the Nazis
Trump: "No nation is in any position to be able to secure Greenland other than the US. We're a great power. Much greater than people even understand. I think they found that out 2 weeks ago in Venezuela. We saw this in World War 2 when Denmark fell to Germany after just 6 hours of fighting."
