Trump currently speaking about America First so will address Greenland later. As he’s currently listing his own achievements, that probably won’t be until tomorrow

This is what historian Robert Kagan on what it means for the world.

We’re responding to this crisis as if it’s just another crisis. It’s not. This is it. It’s the political crisis of our lifetimes. And how we respond in the US & UK & Europe is critical.

Ignore the political pundits. They’ve failed us. The media is failing us. Listen to the historians. This is Conservative historian Robert Kagan on what is happening in Minneapolis & what it means for the US…& the world

I’m back to mocking up my own headlines for my newsletter because the press - esp here in the UK - is failing to meet the moment.

We’re now trapped between Russia in the east. And the US in the west. Two hostile states openly seeking to crush us.

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.

Naomi Smith: "The irreplaceable value of international students from around the world enrolling in our world-class universities and, alongside their education, taking a lifelong fondness for the UK back to their home countries is a vital component of Britain’s soft power."

Trump on Renee Good: "When she was shot, there was another woman that was screaming 'Shame. Shame Shame Shame.' So loud. Like a professional opera singer. She was so loud. And so professional. She wasn't a woman that was hurt like, 'Oh my heart is injured.' She was a professional."

This beautiful child, an American citizen just like his parents, is being bullied because Donald Trump is a racist piece of shit and white supremacy feels emboldened to act without shame. This hatred is taught and it is wrong.

Not that Europe doesn't love sermons on "courage" over "bullshit politics", @gavinnewsom.bsky.social, but maybe "the time to get serious" was several years ago. A bit rich to criticise those now trying to navigate the fallout of events on which you had much more influence that any European.

Imagine how much coverage this story would have received in normal times…
Inviting Vladimir Putin to join a “peace board” is the diplomatic equivalent of hiring an arsonist to run the fire department. You don’t build peace by empowering the very people who torch it.

Greenland belongs to its people.
No threat or tariffs will change that.

Our response must be to remain calm, hold our ground and act in unity.

Trump sent out a batsh!t crazy letter yesterday and people once again fell for it. The real story is not the letter, its just another tactic to get what he wants. It shows how he despises Europe and is helping Putin. Yet people comfort themselves by mocking him. open.substack.com/pub/phillips...

For well over a decade, Nigel Farage criticised Davos and just two years ago criticised Starmer for going and calling him a

"full-on globalist, hanging out with his mates at the World Economic Forum."

So, question. Where do you think Nigel Farage is going today?

This is a very good point. The November 2025 US National Security Strategy never mentions the Arctic at all. The idea that it's a genuine security priority for the Trump administration is not credible.
