🇺🇸🇬🇱 Trump has instructed the Pentagon to prepare a plan for a possible invasion of Greenland, — Daily Mail
The initiative is being promoted by “hawks”, in particular Miller. The White House believes that the US should act quickly, before Russia or China increase their influence in the Arctic.

Russia's full-scale invasion has now lasted 1,417 days, matching its WWII participation. Soviet forces reached Berlin and took it in that time, while Russia's army "heroically" advanced 60 km from Donetsk to Pokrovsk, with losses per square kilometer exceeding Stalin-era records.

‼️ 1418 days of the full-scale Russian attack on Ukraine. That's how long the war lasted for the USSR within the Second World War - under the banner of "anti-Nazism".
Now Russia itself found itself in the role of a Nazi state - but against Ukraine.
