Ein WM-Boykott muss diskutiert werden.
Gerade aus unserer Geschichte wissen wir, wie Regierungen im Abgleiten in den Faschismus sportliche Großereignisse für sich nutzen.
Deutschland trägt besondere Verantwortung und sollte daran nicht mitwirken.

WM-Boykott? Das Bild von den USA wandelt sich

In einer Hamburger Fußballkneipe ist WM-Boykott Thema. In Grönland in der Gemeinde Sommerland in Schleswig-Holstein herrscht Trump-Misstrauen.

Could make arguments either way on whether this is a direct violation of Article I, Sect. 10, Clause 3. Not that I oppose it. Time for states to start exercising authority in weird ways, regardless of whether they have such authority.

Former Special Counsel Jack Smith:

"I stand by my decisions as special counsel, including the decision to bring charges against President Trump. Our investigation developed proof beyond reasonable doubt that President Trump engaged in criminal activity... No one should be above the law".

0,9% Anteil. Das ist statistisches Rauschen. Wenn Merz das zur Ursache erklärt, dann nicht, weil er dumm ist, sondern weil er uns für dumm verkauft. Die Zahlen werden ihm ja vorliegen. Das ist Klassenkampf von oben: Fakten leugnen, Stimmung gegen Arbeitnehmer machen und den Sozialstaat abwickeln.

spiegel.de: Kassenärzte widersprechen Merz bei telefonischer Krankschreibung

Nach Zahlen der Kassenärzte entfallen nur 0,9 Prozent aller Krankschreibungen auf Telefonate. Friedrich Merz hatte darin eine Ursache für den hohen Krankenstand vermutet.

Das ist ein sehr lesenswerter Text darüber, welche gravierenden Folgen es hätte, wenn die USA tatsächlich Grönland annektieren würden. Es wäre das Ende der Welt, wie wir sie kennen.

Thread von Thorstrike:
The Moment America Touches Greenland If the United States were to invade Greenland, we should be honest about what follows. This would not be a bargaining tactic, a property deal, or a limited show of force. It would be a geopolitical point of no return.

The moment American troops seize territory from Denmark-a fellow NATO member-the post-war Western order collapses. Not weakens. Ends.

NATO cannot survive an internal attack. Article 5 would be rendered meaningless the instant it is violated by the alliance's most powerful member. Europe would not debate this for months; it would act. The alliance that anchored transatlantic security for 75 years would dissolve, and the United States would instantly transform from guarantor of European stability into its primary threat.

The military consequences would be immediate. U.S. forces would lose their political legitimacy on European soil. Bases across Germany, Italy, the UK, and beyond would face closure or expulsion. America's ability to project power into Europe, Africa, and the Middle East would be crippled-not by enemy fire, but by loss of access. The U.S. would retreat behind oceans, not by choice, but by isolation.

The economic fallout would be even more severe. The European Union, the world's largest single market, would respond decisively. Market access would vanish. Financial cooperation would freeze. Dollar reserves would be reduced, confidence shattered, and the U.S. economy -still dependent on global trust in the dollar-would absorb a shock unlike anything in modern history. Inflation, capital flight, and market collapse would follow.

$American corporations would be collateral damage. Operations in Europe would be frozen, seized, or expelled. Trillions in valuation would disappear almost overnight. This would not be a recession; it would be forced de-globalization, cutting U.S. industry off from its wealthiest and most technologically advanced partners. Airspace would close. U.S. airlines would be grounded across Europe. Boeing aircraft would be sidelined. Transatlantic movement-of people, goods, and supply chains-would fracture. The practical effects would hit ordinary Americans faster than any sanction regime ever has. Diplomatically and culturally, the U.S. would become a pariah. Sporting bans, visa restrictions, and political isolation would follow -just as they have for other aggressor states. Americans abroad would lose protections they once took for granted. The passport that opened doors would instead trigger suspicion. Most importantly, the trust would be gone permanently. You do not invade a democratic ally and reset the relationship later. Europe would not wait for the next election cycle. It would rebuild its defense, finance, and alliances explicitly without-and against the United States.$ The West would survive. But America would no longer lead it.

Invading Greenland would not demonstrate strength. It would announce the end of U.S. leadership, U.S. credibility, and U.S. centrality in the world order-traded away for a frozen territory and resources that offer no strategic return worth the cost.

It would not be conquest.

It would be national self-destruction.
