Why spend more on defense in Western Europe?
YouTube video by Anders Puck Nielsen
youtu.be
There is a lot of talk about higher defense spending in NATO, but I think many politicians have failed to explain adequately why that is necessary. So in this video I explain what is at stake for citizens in Western European countries.

Why did the American audience apparently hear different audio of JD Vance's appearance at the Olympics than the audio heard by the rest of the world?
NBC denies muting. But it's part of overall disturbing developments in the US corporate media world.

The world heard JD Vance being booed at the Olympics. Except for viewers in the US | Bryan Armen Graham
The real risk for American broadcasters is not that dissent will be visible. It is that audiences will start assuming anything they do not show is being hidden

Starlink-effekten: Mens russerne forsøger at få styr på deres kommunikationssystemer, har ukrainerne fået gang i en forholdsvis stor modoffensiv i Zaporizjzja- og Dnipropetrovsk-regionerne. Det oplyser flere førende russiske krigsbloggere som Jurij Podoljaka, mm.

Jeg har allerede i sidste uge indkaldt ministeren til mundtligt paragraf 20 spørgsmål i salen 18/2 om miljøskibene.
Vi har længe vidst, at den er gal, og det glæder mig, at DR også sætter fokus på det.
Er spændt på ministerens svar!

Miljøskibe ligger stille: Forurener for meget

Pete Hegseth complained that the Pentagon sent officers to Harvard to study strategy and leadership — and they came back “too Harvard,” with “globalist, radical ideologies.”
In other words:
The military sent people to learn diplomacy, history, and international law.

Europeans should pay more attention to this absolutely crucial aspect of Trump's efforts & plan for it.
Were this to go through (likely meaning conditional phasing out of US sanctions) this would be absolute dynamite for European unity with huge divisions likely to emerge.

There is way too much optimism about the peace process between Russia and Ukraine. In reality, there is little reason to believe that the current talks will lead anywhere. In this video, I give a status on the talks and discuss why Trump's efforts to stop the war have failed.

Russia trades with Iran, yet Trump has still not put any tariffs on Russia.
It doesn't specify rates that could be imposed, but uses 25% as an example,says it will apply to goods imported into the US from nations that 'directly or indirectly purchases, imports, or otherwise acquires any goods or services from Iran'

Denmark has now passed NATO’s 3.5% of GDP benchmark for 2026.
The threshold was crossed with a 3 billion DKK (€402m / $450m) donation to 🇺🇦, bringing Denmark’s total 🇺🇦 support this year to 13 billion DKK (€1.74bn / $1.95bn).
Imagine if the rest of Europe mirrored Denmark’s level of support.

This is a popular view in Western Europe, but it gets the logic upside down. The relevant question is whether Russia has the drone technology to close the Baltic Sea for us.

"…This sea, which was not fully controlled by NATO, is now under its control. And for Russia, that's bad news," he said

Maybe the settlement should be that President Trump gets refunded his 2016 and 2017 taxes.
Every president from Nixon on released their tax returns, but Trump -- who insisted he would follow that custom -- repeatedly refused to do that. So finally they were leaked, showing he paid only $750 in 2016 and nothing in 2017.
He's now demanding all of us, who *did* pay our full taxes, pay him.
