We are outraged that US has backed out of deal to give Russia land we can't conquer and isn't America's to give away.

The $12 trillion "deal" Russia pitched to Witkoff is just a carrot which only serves to prevent the US from helping Ukraine. It will never materialize for many reasons but most due to the fact that Russia is a small economy, where this amount would exceed its GDP by 5 to 6 times.

Always remember. Not defeating Russia is a choice that Europeans and Americans are making. Nothing more, nothing less.

The Simpsons predicted sex orgies on Epstein's island back in 2000. At that time, an episode was released about an anonymous gossip site where rumors about the residents of Springfield were published.

The brilliance of Carney's "Sign in the Window" speech was that he was not attacking totalitarianism, but the hypocrisy of liberal democracies. It's about how we pretended to believe the fiction of a rules-based international order because it was convenient—and that time has come to be honest.
“The system’s power comes not from its truth but from everyone’s willingness to perform as if it were true.”
Mark Carney explains how totalitarianism works.
The lesson couldn’t be more clear: do not obey in advance. That is how freedom erodes and dignity disappears.

And here we are: the entire transatlantic alliance is now talking about Greenland, instead of talking about ending the war in Ukraine.

The strategic move Ukraine figured out a few months ago is that they could agree to virtually any US demand, knowing Putin will reject every single offer. That has now made it virtually impossible for Trump/Vance to convince anyone that Ukrainian intransigence is the issue here.

There is a lot of speculation about whether Denmark would fight the US over Greenland. This misses the point that the biggest opposition to a US invasion will clearly come from the Greenlanders themselves. Is the U.S. willing to repeat Wounded Knee to get the locals under control?
