Trump tariffs are a conspiracy of the global climate lobby:
US imposes high tariffs on the whole world (ex ruzzia & NK);
prices go up worldwide, especially in the US;
people consume less, especially the world's biggest consumers Americans;
climate change slows down.
Thanks!
Don't tell them! 🤫

A great 🧵 following the breadcrumbs back to 2019 when all this 🇬🇱 talk was unleashed by a fake letter created by 🇷🇺:
JD Vance says the U.S. “should own Greenland.”
Sounds familiar? It should.
This isn’t just headline bait — it echoes a disinformation operation that started in 2019.
Russia’s fingerprints are all over it. Let’s rewind. 👇

Finland’s icebreaker diplomacy is top notch. But considering Trump’s aggressive Greenland comments while golfing with Stubb can’t help the thought that he is buying the icebreakers to use them in conquered Greenland, which happens to be part of Denmark - Finland’s second closest ally.

Das schneidet nah - mit halbem Leben auf Hiiumaa, und seit 2014 sehr sehr oft in Narva, wie auch jetzt gerade. Die Hoffnung bleibt, dass ein ausgemaltes Szenario dann doch nicht wahr wird.
Die WELT hat mir eine Seite zur Verfügung gestellt um mein Baltikum Szenario darzulegen (den Anfang und die Prämissen).
Danke dafür
Danke dafür
Besonders die Einleitung des Artikels ist wichtig. Ich frage mich die ganze Zeit: warum sollte Putin warten, bis Europa sich besser verteidigen kann? ME ist das einzige, was ihn noch aufhält, der ukrainische Widerstand.
