Donald Trump isn’t negotiating, he’s punishing.
This post looks at why the UK’s “reasonable” strategy was never going to work, how the NHS ended up paying the price, and why there may be no stable way to deal with this administration at all.
A darker one than I would have liked.

'“As regards the Nobel Peace Prize, I have on several occasions clearly explained to Trump what is well known, namely that it is an independent Nobel Committee, and not the Norwegian government, that awards the prize,” [Norwegian Prime Minister] Mr. Store said.'
Breaking News: President Trump told Norway’s prime minister that one reason he’s pushing to acquire Greenland is because he didn’t win the Nobel Peace Prize.

Das lustige an NIUS ist, dass sie kaum zahlende Abonnement haben, aber auch kaum Leserschaft. Sie werden fast vollständig von einem Multimillionär mit Lobbykontakten in der CDU finanziert, nicht, damit Millionen Menschen es lesen - sondern CDU-Abgeordnete. Es geht nur um deren Manipulationen.

Why, of all places, is Trump obsessed with taking Greenland? A place, by the way, which America ALREADY has permission from NATO ally Denmark to deploy more troops to if we wanted to?
Because if the U.S. attacked Greenland (Denmark), NATO would cease to exist.
Which is what Trump wants. And Putin.

Stephen Miller said that Greenland doesn't really belong to Denmark because Denmark can't defend it against bullies. By that logic, Miller didn't really own the lunch money that was stolen from him every day when he was growing up.
