They'll stick to an official line of not explicitly saying it, keep all the face-saving off ramps open, it can be spun as doing what he asked for. But this is an actual for-real military deployment in response to a fear of an American invasion. Soldiers to defend themselves from us, the rogue state.
Denmark is underway to move more troops to Greenland in cooperation with undisclosed allies.
Preparatory staff are in place to solve logistics for potential larger Danish forces.
Details are sparse but dr.dk reports that first plane landed 2 days ago.

The Republican Party has placed the nation’s wealth and power in the hands of a giant baby.
WH sources say Venezuela's opposition leader committed the "ultimate sin": She accepted the Nobel Peace prize.
“If she had turned it down and said, ‘I can’t accept it because it’s Donald Trump’s,’ she’d be the president of Venezuela today,” one said.

Authoritarian regimes stay in power by forcing everyone—especially the armed services—to follow orders, rather than the law.
The regime’s goal is to create a military which is willing to kill their fellow citizens to help the regime stay in power. This is part of that effort.

A very common goal of illegal threats to use force is avoiding actual use of force, by coercing the threatened state into making the desired concessions -- like selling something they don't want to sell. That's why the UN Charter prohibits them, in the same article prohibiting uses of force.

I was sat in the middle of the night watching the live US media coverage of Mike Pence certifying the results of the election.
This included the part where security personnel direct congresspeople to duck for cover behind their seats, while they proceed to shoot at angry people attempting to enter!

I've watched thousands of videos from the Jan. 6 riot as part of NPR's reporting and archive project on that day.
Here are some of the lesser known videos that have really stuck with me.

Five years ago today, Donald Trump incited a violent mob to attack the Capitol in a last-ditch effort to cling to power after losing a free and fair election. January 6 was not a protest that got out of hand — it was an attempted coup, carried out in plain sight.

I keep hearing Trump and Republicans say rising health care costs isn’t an urgent problem, but take a look at the price increases on the ACA exchange for the same insurance plans from 2025 to 2026. Millions of Americans are about to get screwed over with higher bills.

Ray marching is a common approach to GPU-accelerated volume rendering, but gives biased transmittance estimates. My new #SIGGRAPHAsia paper (+code) proposes an amazingly simple formula to eliminate this bias almost completely without using more samples.
