Já aqui disse várias vezes que a ausência de Portugal de forma activa nestas discussões terá consequências se um dia (que esperemos nunca aconteça) Donald Trump decidir que os Açores pertencem aos Estados Unidos. Não é uma hipótese absurda.
If the Americans are given Greenland, next they will demand 🇫🇷French Guiana.

Then they will demand 🇬🇧Bermuda. Then maybe the 🇵🇹Azores. Who knows what next.

It's amazing that these establishment European politicians can understand this concept with Ukraine but not with Greenland.

Trump confused Greenland & Iceland.

He thinks there’s a country called “Aberbaijan”.

He called the President of Switzerland “Prime Minister” & couldn’t remember her name.

All in 30 minutes.

We’re watching dementia rapidly advance in the most important office in the world & no-one’s intervening.

It has to be physically uncomfortable to be this pathetic.
Mike Johnson accuses Norway of “making a political decision & not awarding the Nobel Prize to probably the most deserving individual in history of the prize. There are 8 to 10 wars & conflicts that’ve been resolved by President Trump, & he got snubbed.”

🚨Now closing on 83,000 signatures! The Petition calling for by-elections to be called automatically when MPs defect to another party is getting so close to the 100,000 needed.

Let’s keep going!

Trump in Davos, Switzerland:

"Without us, right now you'd all be speaking German".

German is the main language of Switzerland.

Hoje comemoramos o 40.º aniversário da adesão de Espanha e de Portugal à Europa. O que celebramos hoje verdadeiramente é a vitória da democracia sobre décadas de ditadura na Península Ibérica; do desenvolvimento sobre a pobreza; e da abertura ao mundo face ao isolamento.

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.

Last year, the US described the Chagos Islands deal as a 'monumental achievement.'

Now, Trump thinks it's an 'act of great stupidity.'

Surreal, but heard at Davos:

Official Danish archives show Woodrow Wilson’s 1916 signature & Secretary of State Robert Lansing, committing US by treaty that Denmark has right to “whole of Greenland”, after Trump written denial of right.

Letter from Trump to the Norwegian PM says since he didn’t get the Nobel Peace Prize he’s decided he wants Greenland.

Even for Donald Trump, this is astonishing behaviour.

“Considering your country decided not to give me the Nobel Prize… I no longer feel an obligation to think purely of peace”.

🇵🇹Tomorrow Portugal goes to the polls. In an all too familiar tale, the far-right are once again leading the charge.

The presidency wields some key powers, including in some circumstances to dissolve parliament, to call a snap parliamentary election, and to veto legislation.

Trump's claim that without his involvement Russia would have seized all of Ukraine is a monstrous lie, and a sickening insult to the Ukrainian people. Ukraine stands strong against Russia despite Trump’s near total curtailment of aid to Ukraine. It is Trump who has been helping Putin's invasion.

For Trump, NATO is useless. He doesn't own it. He doesn't rule it. He and his cronies can't make money out of it, and it doesn't have his name on it.

The same goes for, truth, morality, democracy and the rule of law. For Trump, they are obstacles hindering his pursuit of wealth, power and glory.
