Hey @jd-vance-1.bsky.social, can you please tell us more about how free speech is threatened in Europe?
Trump posts early on Christmas Eve: "If Network NEWSCASTS, and their Late Night Shows, are almost 100% Negative to President Donald J. Trump, MAGA, and the Republican Party, shouldn’t their very valuable Broadcast Licenses be terminated? I say, YES!"

American tech companies are not truly concerned about censorship, as they happily operate in countries with strict regulations.
You never hear the Trump administration complain about Saudi Arabia, Russia, or China.
This is about bullying Europe, nothing more

Interesting statistics on films shown in cinemas. In Europe, about 70% of films are produced in USA. In India that number is only 8%, in China 21%. We really need significant investment into European films. There is no reason why we can't produce films in Europe, more fit for European audiences

Today's Greenland news should be a reminder to anyone in Europe who still needs it.
It is crazy to me what we still have people in Europe saying the problem with America right now is "isolationism". These European Atlanticists do not live in the real world.

I‘m getting tired of repeating the point that Trump wants to divide and rule. He poses a collective action problem for Europeans and as long as we leave targeted nations to fend for themselves, he will succeed in dominating us.

Jeg er meget uenig med Jan Werner. Jeg mener at han komplet fejllæser Putin og truslen fra Rusland. Jeg synes også det er rimeligt at nævne at han ikke har nogen særlige kompetencer for at forstå Rusland, men udelukkende ekstrapolerer fra nogle generelle IP-teorier.

Det er enormt vigtigt at vi begynder at tage Trump og Putin alvorligt når de siger noget. Det er farligt og dybt ukonstruktivt at opfinde undskyldninger på deres vegne og at bortforklare hvad de siger med, at de faktisk mener noget helt andet.
Igen, igen, igen: Prøv at høre. Det er med Trump som med Putin. Vi er nødt til at tage dem begge to bogstaveligt.
Trump says he’s appointing Louisiana Gov. Jeff Landry as “special envoy” to Greenland.
Landry has previously expressed support for Trump’s plan to invade Greenland.

Tom Cooper paints a bleak picture of the Ukrainian armed forces and especially the Ukrainian general staff.
I find it interesting to hear his perspective; A very pro-Ukrainian military analyst that is very critical of the Ukrainian war effort.

I often see or hear variations of the idea that because Russia isn’t making significant gains in Ukraine, surely, we in Europe have absolutely nothing to worry about when it comes to Russian aggression. This notion makes the assumption that the Ukrainian army is somehow “bad” or “weak”

One example: The Eastern European countries were certainly right in regards to Russia, and the "Old Europe" was wrong. No doubt about that; But, "Old France" was
