Mette Frederiksen i hårdt angreb på RUC: »Prøv at sige sætningen. Folk tror jo, det er løgn«
Muslimer i Danmark svigter deres ansvar, når de ikke gør mere for at forhindre negativ social kontrol og voldelige unge, mener Mette Frederiksen, der også langer ud efter RUC.

US spies stoked separatism in Greenland, Denmark says
Denmark has accused US agents of trying to foment separatism in Greenland, reigniting fears over the territory's future.

Vance scolds Denmark during Greenland trip
Denmark's prime minister said the visit by the US VP and other top officials showed a "lack of respect".
www.bbc.com
Vance played a ‘false tune’ full of nonsense during his speech at Pituffik. 🇺🇸 pressure remains disrespectful and high, but is not (yet) being increased www.bbc.com/news/article...
Peter Aagaard

· Mar 26
According to the media the visit is ‘scaled down’, but it would be be wrong to see a visit at Pituffik as a retreat by the US. The convential MAGA playbook is to enforce rhetorical attacts. Vance will probably do so during his visit at Pituffik, not least to suck up to his primary audience: Trump.
